Ralf and everyone,
I discovered that I had the DN of the syncprov overlay entry wrong.  I had the following:

olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config

I changed it to:

olcOverlay=syncprov,olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config

And now the replication works between my two servers, AND when I do the remove tests, it doesn't crash the server ;o)

I can still open a bug report if you want, since having a bad config, then attempting to delete it probably shouldn't crash the server ;o).

Thanks again for everyone who helped.

Yes, probably. Might I ask you to open a bug report at
bugzilla.novell.com? So we can fix it and probably release an updated
RPM.

Yes. The problematic thing is deleting complete objects (e.g. overlays,
databases). Deleting single Attributes should work just fine and doesn't
require -DSLAP_CONFIG_DELETE.

It'll probably just deny to execute the operations (e.g. when removing
overlay entries from the frontend or config db). But I consider that
better than crashing the server :).
