I don't have a "normal" Debian system running testing right now. What I do 
know is that all was running well with up to date testing from a few weeks 
ago. I did an apt-get dist-upgrade, and forgot that /tmp was mounted noexec. 
This made a lot of postinst scripts fail. I can only suppose that this broke 
slapd. Reinstall of slapd and its dependencies did not seem to fix it though.
