Yes, that's the identical server failure and a similar cause, a malfunctioning client.

It seems at least possible whatever connections/queries/operations that are occuring during these replica failure issues that accidentally kill the server could be intentionally performed by a malicious client, which would be a DoS security issue in OpenLDAP.

We have a test environment in which we can reproduce this server crash at will, and would be happy to provide whatever additional data or assistance is required to diagnose and resolve the underlying issue.
