Behaviour when object is not found

HI!

I'm testing ldapmodule (CVS version) with OpenLDAP 2.0beta. With
OpenLDAP 1.2.x when trying to read a non-existent entry ldapmodule
raised exception ldap.NO_SUCH_OBJECT which is very handy to handle
non-existing entries.

With OpenLDAP 2.0beta ldapmodule returns an empty result list
instead which breaks existing code. I would expect that this is more
a OpenLDAP 2.0 issue but before I start a discussion on
openldap-devel at openldap.org I would like to understand exactly under
which conditions the exception ldap.NO_SUCH_OBJECT is raised.

Ciao, Michael.
