When I try to slapadd initial data into an empty mdb backend, the slapadd hangs:

$ /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/sbin/slapadd -w -S 1 -c -F /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/etc/slapd.d -b dc=example,dc=com -l /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/etc/initdb.ldif
_#################### 100.00% eta   none elapsed            none fast!
(does not return to a shell prompt. I have to INT it.)

I add '-d -1' to get some debugging output and I get this after removing the data.mdb and lock.mdb created above:

$ /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/sbin/slapadd -d -1 -w -S 1 -c -F /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/etc/slapd.d -b dc=example,dc=com -l /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/etc/initdb.ldif

I used the following slaptest commands to create the initial slapd.d/ directory from a slapd.conf file:
$ /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/sbin/slaptest -u -f /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/etc/slapd.conf -F /tmp/openldap-2.4.31/etc/slapd.d

I compiled from the following source:
OpenLDAP 2.4.31
OpenSSL 1.0.1b
Cyrus-SASL 2.1.25

I am running in the following environment:
Dell Poweredge 2950; dual-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5110  @ 1.60GHz; 8GB RAM
Scientific Linux 5.7

Am I doing something wrong (besides the ACLs for cn=LDAP Admins,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com. I'm still struggling there) ?

Thank you,
Mark
