The concise-software blog author chose not to have his discussion on a
MacPorts list where it might be useful so we didn't benefit.  He chose to
document a supposed bug rather than contribute to fixing it.  But there
isn't much we can do about lone rangers.

But otherwise, I suspect that openldap should use db44 (a newer version)
rather than db4.  So please try this:

uninstall db4
install db44

Change the openldap Portfile like this:

The db44 port still has the arguments "--enable-compat185
--enable-dump185", but I see the FreeBSD port uses those too and I wonder
if mr blogger is correct about removing those.  I just installed openldap
using db44; please report if you have success with this method so we can
tell the openldap port maintainer so he can fix it.
