I'm running 2.4.33 with BDB on amd64 and haven't seen this problem but my current use of it is not exactly heavyweight though, just mail routing, password, antispam config for a few hundred user accounts (using dovecot/postfix/amavis). I haven't run qmail-ldap for at least 10 years but your description "as soon as qmail tries to bind into it, it begins to consume memory" suggests that maybe it works with other clients - is that correct? any idea what qmail-ldap is doing differently? If you haven't already got reasonable logs you can add 'local4.* /var/log/ldap' to /etc/syslog.conf, touch /var/log/ldap, /etc/rc.d/syslogd reload - iirc this is enough to get binds/queries logged and might help shed some light.
