It depends how you understand "lookup returns". It may be:
a) 0 DN's, 0 attrs
b) 1 DN's, 0 attrs
c) 1 DN's, 1 or more attrs
d) many DN's, 0 attrs
e) many DN's, 1 or more attrs
You talk about option c only. maybe e will be ok from your point of
view. Option b is also successful result. It returns DN, which match
query_filter with attrs="1.1" (or no attrs requested).
Why option(s) c (and probably e) suites, when b (and probably d) not?

other options - "lookup returned something". Am I not correct?
