Two things: slapd is known to crash in various ways when using BDB 4.3 under heavy load. Also, there was no database format change between BDB 4.3 and 4.4. There was a logfile format change though, so you'll want to have a full checkpoint and remove all the obsolete log files.

The change would require a user to dump and re-import their database, so I need some evidence that BDB 4.3 is causing problem before I can make a change.
