odd, I have 35 at the moment, all with exactly 145 files open(each)

even stranger!

what version of openldap? 2.1.x ? could be a bug, not sure what
to suggest :<

your lsof output for that one pid looks pretty good to me.

I've been running 2.0.x for over a year and have never seen this
problem.

not sure what best to reccomend at this point, You could try
increasing debugging to 256, or 65535 to get some really verbose
output. I saw your other email about closing the file descriptors
and noticed that happened nearly 5 hours before slapd started,
so not sure what happened there either.
