Try this: ldbsearch -H private/sam.ldb.d/DC\=XXX\,DC\=COM.ldb -o 
modules: | grep dn  | grep SID  | sort | uniq -d

Give us the output.

Also this:
* ldbsearch -H private/sam.ldb '(nextrid=*)' nextrid
* ldbsearch -H private/sam.ldb '(ridnextrid=*)' ridnextrid

As a side note I'm just wondering what you are doing with your samba4, 
have you got a (very) old version ? Normally if you interact nicely with 
it such kind of corruption should not appear, I'm using samba4 
intensively in production and never faced this, I just had problem when 
I edited ldb files out of the control of LDB modules.
