Error 32 ?

[glavoy@apple.com (Gary LaVoy)]

So when I search for something that I know is in the database, I get results,
but I also get an err=32 (see log snippit below):

when I search against a different branch (also happens to be in a different
physical db) I don't get the err=32:

Jul 23 13:30:26 etsx4 slapd[26333]: conn=8297 op=2 SRCH base="ou=people,o=apple"
scope=2 filter="(cn=tim*)" 
Jul 23 13:30:26 etsx4 slapd[26333]: conn=8297 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0
nentries=94 text= 


What is causing the error?

(err=32 says it is 'no such object')

thanks,

Gary

(FAQ O Matic was no help either).
