With an mdb backend the command

ldapsearch -xLLL -b dc=ar40i1,dc=qa -s one objectClass=domain dn

returns the base DN. With a bdb backend it doesn't.

The crucial point seems to be the filter in this case, which matches the base object only, and none of it's children. If I change the filter to objectclass=top (or leave it away) then only the children are returned, just like the behaviour of the bdb backend.
