I would figure out:

What version of OpenLDAP you have running


Because using my 2.3 servers:

tribes:~> ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope baseObject
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: namingContexts
#

#
dn:
namingContexts: dc=stanford,dc=edu

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1


It is as expected.
