It seems that slapd is running with the debugging option set (-d 256) in
which case slapd won't fork in the background.

From the slapd manpage:

 -d debug-level

 Turn on debugging as defined by debug-level. If this option is
 specified, even with a zero argument, slapd will not fork or
 disassociate from the invoking terminal.

Could you try to not start slapd with debugging set?
