There is apparently a bug in the matching logic somewhere, as:

ldapsearch -h localhost 
"entryDN:dnSubtreeMatch:=cn=People,dc=stanford,dc=edu"

returns all of the people tree, but

ldapsearch -h localhost 
"(!(entryDN:dnSubtreeMatch:=cn=People,dc=stanford,dc=edu))"

only returns the root entry.

than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
