You're running a large process on a low-memory machine.  I strongly suspect CentOS isn't giving slapd enough time to shut down properly.

I think you've hit this head on. The only other suggestion I might make is to consider the checkpointing configuration as described in slapd-bdb(5) man page. As a rule of thumb, more frequent checkpoints mean that the time to flush at shutdown is decreased.

Hi,

for your information, there are init script and packages for CentOS provided by LTB-project: - http://ltb-project.org/wiki/documentation/openldap-initscript - http://ltb-project.org/wiki/documentation/openldap-rpm

Hope this helps.
