That's harmless.  I think it was fixed in HEAD but likely not ported to 
re23.  Basically, when the suffix entry is "", a dummy Entry structure 
is used, which has no attributes and thus no objectClass attribute.  
Those checks should be skipped but they're not, but the main drawback is 
that few cycles are wasted.
