Vielen Dank, actually that helped me fix it, because it's about the 
issue I have. I noticed that the directory server is listening on IPv6, 
but not on IPv4. The information from the bug report helped me to fix 
that and make it listen on IPv4 instead. I would find it more convenient 
if it were the other way around - listen on IPv4 by default if no 
nsslapd-listenhost is set instead of IPv6. Anyhow, to summarize the 
solution, here's what I did:

# cat fix-ipv6-bind.ldif
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-listenhost
nsslapd-listenhost: 0.0.0.0

# cat fix-ipv6-sslbind.ldif
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-securelistenhost
nsslapd-securelistenhost: 0.0.0.0

# ldapmodify -a -x -h localhost -p 389 -D cn="Directory Manager" -w 
password123 -f fix-ipv6-bind.ldif

# ldapmodify -a -x -h localhost -p 389 -D cn="Directory Manager" -w 
password123 -f fix-ipv6-sslbind.ldif

# netstat -tulpn | grep slapd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:389             0.0.0.0:* LISTEN      
474/ns-slapd
