The ldap server crashes in a way that all requests are accepted but never answered! Thus all other host cannot be used any more, as user, hosts and automounter lookups block the system and the slave ldap servers will never be asked.
The last time I could start the master but again all requests did not succeed. When I stop the master all works well - using the slaves. After slapadd-ing the latest backup the master works as expected.
Anyone has an idea?

your answer will lie in /var/log/slapd.log
I stopped loggin some month ago ... even level 256 was quite a bunch.
After the first strange crash I started the server in foreground with level "-d -1" and I remember something like "out of locks".
This time, I did not have the time to look at the lines: some User where angry because the could not read there Mails nearly the whole weekend.
Sorry, the next time I will keep the logs - hoping that somebody may understand them.
