Not knowing what else to do, I removed the lines containing
> "olcTLS" from /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif.  Then I was able to restart
> slapd (congratulating myself) and then re-ran my ldapmodify command to enter

> Aug  8 17:04:53 grackle slapd[2028]: slapd starting
> Aug  8 17:05:01 grackle slapd[2028]: ldif_read_file: checksum error on
> "/etc/ldap /slapd.d/cn=config.ldif"

So you edited this by hand?
