This is helpful.  Any chance you could paste the entire stack traces?  
For example,
#0  0x0000003735c3c868 in slapi_get_mapping_tree_node_by_dn@plt () from 
/usr/lib64/dirsrv/libslapd.so.0
#0  0x0000003735c4ad38 in slapi_dn_normalize_ext () from 
/usr/lib64/dirsrv/libslapd.so.0
etc. are nice to have, but much better would be the entire stack traces 
of these calls so we can see where they are called from.
