Thanks for the reply.  You are correct.  If I shutdown slapd first, no
error is generated.  I can start doing this.  However, I didn't think
this was necessary.  From the slapcat man page:

"For some backend types, your slapd(8) should not be running (at least,
not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of the
database. It is always safe to run slapcat  with the slapd-bdb(5),
slapd-hdb(5), and slapd-null(5) backends."

Is this no longer accurate?

If you run db_recover while slapd is running, you'll likely corrupt your database. However, it is perfectly fine to run slapcat while slapd is running.
