Quoting Howard:
"While ITS#5342 is still being investigated, I would recommend that everyone 
use 2.3.39 and not 2.3.40. Sorry for the trouble."

ITS#5342 is still open, and while the last two followups seem to indicate that 
the corruption was not the fault of 2.3.40 ... I'm planning an upgrade for 
this weekend (from 2.3.34 for one set of servers, and from 2.3.11 for 
another), and thus far I'm hoping to run with 2.3.39 with most fixes in 
2.3.40 (plus #5358's fix), but not the dn2id lock fix ...

Maybe I should make provision for an export/import during my upgrade?
