Limitations on filters?

(BTW: Thanks for answers on my previous question to this list)

My question is: Is there a limitation on filters in ldap?

The reason why I ask is recent experiences:
When executing a search with this filter:
(&(objectClass=*)(|(cn~=Bre)(o~=Bre)(ou~=Bre)))
I receive about ten entries at a certain base.
But when adding a few more "or-parts" to the filter, I get NO results on the same
search-base!
This is the new filter:
(&(objectClass=*)(|(cn~=Bre)(o~=Bre)(ou~=Bre)(sn~=Bre)(l~=Bre)(c~=Bre)))

The RFC 1558 states no such limitations as far as I can see.

Is it perhaps the server that fails here? If so, is it possible for my program detect
that?
