Ugh, nm, misread that.

OpenLDAP was compiled using 5.1.25, and the libs were updated to 5.1.29. 
OpenLDAP *must* be recompiled against 5.1.29 as well in that case.  If that 
is done, then everything will move along happily.

This is by design because Oracle/Sleepycat has made API changes in patch 
level releases before.  back-hdb/bdb *must* be compiled against the exact 
BDB library version they are linked to.  In this case, the patch level does 
matter.
