If signal 6 is SIGABRT on your system, it is likely what trivial-rewrite
called the abort() system call. If it was called from Postfix code, and
not a library module, there should be a "panic" syslog message. Otherwise,
perhaps your LDAP is using GNUTLS (it used to exit() in the library when
entropy was not available, perhaps it now aborts...), or you have other
library issues.

Debian does I believe have SIGABRT == 6. So check out the dependencies
of the LDAP library, check for chroot jails that lack /dev/urandom, ...

You should probably avoid GNUTLS, if possible, especially if Postfix is
using OpenSSL.

Is trivial-rewrite running in a chroot jail? Does said jail, if any, have
/dev/urandom, ...

Test with chroot off, if that fixes it, either GNUTLS or Postfix is unhappy
in the jail, and given lack of "panic" log entries, I am guessing GNUTLS,
but the evidence is not yet conclusive.
