A freshly compiled OpenLDAP 2.0.22 on NetBSD 1.5.2, running on a MIPS
processor gives the following on startup:

 line XY: regular expression "" bad because of empty (sub)expression

That line corresponds to:

access to dn="" by * read

Which is one of the "Sample Access Control" lines that "Allow read access
of root DSE".

The same slapd.conf file works on a i386 Red Hat Linux 7.2 machine with
the same version (2.0.22) of OpenLDAP.

I'm more than willing to try out patches or supply additional debug.
