While not completely current this should be stable.  Have you verified
that you have reasonable settings in you DB_CONFIG file?  Most of the
time when you get a corrupted DB it is because of an incorrect db4
version or insane settings in DB_CONFIG.  Besides those we've found it
very difficult to corrupt an OpenLDAP db.
