Which slapd segfault ? The openpkg or the debian one ? Are you trying
to run both at the same time ?

the openpkg slapd should run smoothly using it own library.

When you make some ldap queries, the client should load the libraries
it want (probably the debian one)
and not disturb the openpkg sldapd process

I thing the problem is somewhere else than in a library problem.
Except if you have installed installed or upgraded some debian package
after kolab install ?
