I just tried using NULL for the handle in dlsym, and I get the same result as before, and it
does not change between using RTLD_LOCAL or RTLD_GLOBAL in dlopen.
What I am seeing is that looking up one symbol is giving the value for a totally different
one -- it's not returning an error indication.
And this same wrong value is what happens if I just allow the natural linking to take place
(which is what I really want to happen -- the dl calls simply help focus the issue).
I will look up your previous issue, though, to see if there is something else there of use
in this situation.
