I did this change, but as I reported just a minute ago, there was another issue with a
hidden syntax problem regarding MDB and HDB (leftover olcDbXXX object specifiers and a
nasty typo). The problems played "Ringelpiez" with me and so I turned in circles trying
to catch up.

Problem solved! Was homebrewn. I edited the LDIF files for the config when I changed from
HDB backend to MDB backend and somehow I had some terrible typos and syntax faults which
where triggered now (and I do not know why, but I do not ask anymore).

Thanks.
