When we did the first tests here, the slapd setup scripts seemed to be 
kind of buggy while dealing with input it doen't like. For example a 
directory service admin password containing same special chars (can't 
remember which) generated an invalid dse.ldif config section. To make 
things worse slapd segfaulted instead of dealing with it more gracefully.

Try running ns-slapd with debug enabled or inside gdb, it should give 
you a hint on what attribute is making it choke.
