I am running a slapd 2.2.23 (debian package) with a bdb Backend on a Debian Sarge system. I want to use slapcat for backing up my database, but it does never dump the complete data. After running a while it just stops and is doing nothing anymore. I am a bit nervous right now, is there another way to get a ldif dump, or some way of debugging to find the error ? I did try slapcat -d 256, but that did not show anything unnormal, it just stopped.

Sounds like a corrupted database. You should try to recover it (db-recover, or db_recover, or db4.2_recover, etc).
