I can't reproduce it here, just tried your flow to reproduce but that
didn't work:
/etc/init.d/slapd start (works)
slapd -d 1 (fails, because port is in use)
/etc/init.d/slapd stop (works, check pstree -u if slapd is running)
slapd -d 1 (works, because slapd is stopped)
/etc/init.d/slapd stop (works also, the 'slapd -d 1' is killed)

If you want to run a second instance of slapd, you can better try to
create another configuration file and set it up so that it doesn't
interfere with the other one.

But why do you want that ? slapd can run with multiple directories ?
