dlsym with RTLD_NEXT and unknown symbol causes segfault on ppc

["Kevin B. Hendricks" <kevin dot hendricks at sympatico dot ca>]

Hi Franz,

When the jdk under green threads fails instantly with a segfault under glibc 2.2
cvs because whenever dlsym (using RTLD_NEXT) is used to lookup a nonexistent
symbol it segfaults.

I have no idea if this is a ppc specific problem or not.

Here is a stripped down piece of test code:

[root@khendricksmac jdk]# gcc -o bug1 -D_GNU_SOURCE -ldl -lc bug1.c
[root@khendricksmac jdk]# ./bug1
Segmentation fault
[root@khendricksmac jdk]# 


[root@khendricksmac jdk]# cat bug1.c

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

typedef int (*sysfunc_t)();


int 
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    char *sym="_filbuf";
    sysfunc_t addr;
    addr = (sysfunc_t) dlsym(RTLD_NEXT,sym);
    fprintf(stdout, "All is well\n");
    fflush(stdout);
    exit(0);
}

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
