>Description:
	If an executable depends on a shared library that isn't
installed, running ldd on it will just print "signal 11" and exit.
>How-To-Repeat:
	a.out depends on libstdc++.so.0.1. I only have libstdc++.so.2.0.
% ldd a.out
a.out:
a.out: signal 11
>Fix:
	I don't know, but it has something to do with the call to
alloc_link_map at line 453 of rtld.c. dp is null, but it tries to look
at dp->d_version (line 594).
