Thanks for your answer. I upgraded to latest BDB (4.3.28) and reinstalled, but it still didn't work. I then upgraded the Linux distribution I'm using (Slackware, from 10.0 to 10.1) and it still the same errors. Then I recompiled a new kernel (2.4.31) and cleaned up my starting environment a bit (the sendmail start script made rc.M exit completly after it had been processed). It still wouldn't work. Recompiled Apache, sendmail, PHP, MySQL and rebooted. Then it just worked.
I have no explanation to why it started to work, but I'm happy again. :) I guess it's just one of these questions that won't get an answer. To answer your question as what happened when I turned on debugging, it showed it recieved a search request, and then just froze. Nothing else happened after that. And what backend I'm using, it's back-bdb. And memory was not a problem. Thanks for your help!

OpenLDAP works for thousands of searches for me... Have you looked at what happens when you turn on debugging? (slapd -d -1) Are you running out of memory? Do you set any cachesize or idlcachesize variables? What database backend are you using?
