Hrm, I really don't know.  It has been a long while since I touched  
that code and the dlopen interface, so I can't judge it (FWIW I  
didn't know of RTLD_DEFAULT until now).  If it works, I guess it's  
OK, except that I don't like it for mainstream due to the usage of  
__NetBSD__.

BTW, the bug report linked at the top contained some replies that  
might be helpful here in fixing the issue completely.  Don't forget  
to add your findings to it too!

Thank you,
