OK this works. My mistake, the concerned character is in fact a Windows character (CP1252) I hadn't noticed when I converted my schema to a text file.

With the patch in HEAD your schema file now yields:

config_build_attrs: error 21 on olcAttributeTypes value #3 config_build_entry: build "cn={0}test" failed: "" backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-1) slapd stopped.

Probably we should be detecting this problem earlier, when parsing slapd.conf, instead of when generating the cn=config entries.

The problem is the 8-bit Latin-1 character in the certificate's DESC. It works if you convert the schema file to UTF-8.

Slapd should have refused to start with a non-UTF-8 attribute DESC. Possibly that should wait for OpenLDAP 2.5 though, and just log a warning for now.
