Well, IMHO this is a really bad excuse and I was not expecting to hear that in this list. 

Klements,

You can get slapd source packages and change the flags as you want. Serious distribution packages as Debian packages shouldn't be discouraged by OpenLDAP dev team as I'm seeing here. Debian packages policy are very strong and help a lot stable environments to be bug-free from recent less stable versions. I use Debian as a protection from that too early versions who can potentially threat my production environment and I was very successful with Debian packages in this attempt.

You can also look for support on Debian IRC channels and lists.

Sounds like you're mostly on the right track, but I didn't hear mention
of  compiling with a suitable OPENLDAP_FD_SETSIZE. Are your CPPFLAGS set
accordingly?

I use the OpenLDAP version from the distribution (Debian 5.0.4),

There's your first mistake.
