Looks like it's fixed in this commmit.

     Handle symbol resolution errors in the 18.08 slurmdbd.

     Caused by b1ff43429f6426c when moving the slurmdbd agent internals.

     Bug 5882.

An upgrade to 18.08.3 from 18.08.1 shouldn't be disruptive though, 
should it?  We just flip a symlink and the users see the new binaries, 
libraries, etc immediately, we can then restart daemons as and when we 
need to (in the right order of course, slurmdbd, slurmctld and then 
slurmd's).

All the best,
Chris
