[Chicken-users] RTLD_LAZY vs. RTLD_NOW

[Tony Garnock-Jones]

Can anyone think of a good reason to keep dlopen using RTLD_LAZY rather
than switching it to RTLD_NOW? Because I can think of a good reason to
switch: HP-UX braindead dynamic linker spins unkillably sometimes if you
open shared libraries with RTLD_LAZY and then call dlsym() on them.
RTLD_GLOBAL/LOCAL doesn't seem to make a difference, but RTLD_NOW makes
the problem vanish. **sigh**

I'll change it over tomorrow in CVS if noone objects.
