There's something really odd about your environment.  The error about an 
unclean shutdown only occurs if slapd has been stopped in an unclean 
fashion.  Now you note that you stopped slapd and then ran slapcat.  It 
sounds then like slapd faulted on shutdown rather than shutting down 
cleanly, which means you would have to run db_recover prior to running 
slapcat.  I recall having an issue on slapd shutdown recently, let me see 
if I can go dig that up.
