Try:

 db4.2_recover -h /var/lib/ldap

The command may be slightly different depending on the version of the db 
tools that you have installed.

Once you have a working database, look at creating some backups :-)  
Because of all the problems and the inherit design problem of no audit 
trails in LDAP, I wrote a script to dump the database several times a 
day. Can be run as many times as desired, since it creates a timestamped 
file. This gets backed up locally, in addition to daily backups of the 
entire server.
