A bug in Sleepycat´s Berkeley DB (version 2.3.16 up to 2.6.4 beta), was detected, that caused failure during opening of database files when running a threaded slapd on a linux box. Apply the supported patch at the root directory of Sleepycat´s code. Since the bug was reported to Sleepycat, it may not appear in DB versions, later than 2.6.4 beta.
