It looks like that error is reported when the number of entries to sort
exceeds the look-through limit for the ldbm plugin settings.  Looks like
the default is 5k entries.  Are your searches returning more than 5k
entries?

I am looking at the source file fedora-ds-1.0/ldap/servers/slapd/back-
ldbm/sort.c if anybody wants to double check what I am seeing (search
for LDAP_ADMINLIMIT_EXCEEDED).

You can view/set the look-through limit in the console under the
configuration tab -> data -> database settings -> LDBM Plug-in Settings
tab.
