you can surely download the corresponding OpenLDAP source code, build it, replace slapd and slap* tools in BUILDDIR/servers/slapd with those provided by the distribution, and run the tests using "make test" or "cd tests; ./run testXXX" where XXX is the number of the test you need.

Ahh, that sounds great, I'll check that!

As I note in my previous email, it's not as simple as that, unless you build your source tree with exactly the same configure options as the package you want to test against.
