This doesn't make sense to me, and I'm not clear why LDBM support is being 
added back in.  There are many many reasons not to use LDBM, and I can 
confirm it has been purged from OpenLDAP 2.4 (which is now in alpha). 
There is no reason for anyone to use LDBM, except for a desire to have 
corrupting unrecoverable data (which doesn't seem particularly rational to 
me).
