Can someone please provide a succint response that I can relay in turn? They refuse to listen to reason.

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.

That's quite informative and thanks for the information. Because FAQ says that 4.2 is recommended BDB release, should it be used by default? Or is it just fine to use 4.4?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
