wildcard search failed (ITS#208)

We're using OpenLDAP 1.2.3 + gdbm 1.7.3 and there's no problem.  We tried to
switch
to SleepyCat db 2.7.5, but a simple search like this "ldapsearch mail=a*"
returns
nothing while "ldapsearch mail=an*" or in the gdbm case the right entry is
returned
(the entry has "mail=anton-lam@cuhk.edu.hk").  

Would anyone please help ?  Thanks a lot.
