when doing a search with a single character and a wildcard no results are
returned
ie.
solarisbox:~ # ldapsearch -LLLb o=unix uid=a* dn

**noresults**

solarisbox:~ # ldapsearch -LLLb o=unix uid=ab* dn
dn: cn=Ab0001,ou=people,o=unix
dn: cn=Ab0002,ou=people,o=unix
dn: cn=Ab0003,ou=people,o=unix
etc....

nb. database freshly built by "slapadd -b o=unix -l ldif-file" (v2.1.19 with
Berkeley DB 4.1.25)
