Thanks for the info. Could you please do a send-pr on this bug, and tell me the PR number? Then I'll assign myself as the resposible person. Please be sure to state that it's the ELF dynamic linker. If you're in a big hurry and would like to work on it yourself, the relevant code is in "src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c" in the function dlopen() near the comment that says "XXX - Clean up properly after an error." :-) The fix may be as simple as calling unref_object_dag() from the failure cases there, but it will need careful checking. Some additional changes may be needed in load_needed_objects() near the comment that says "XXX - cleanup." :-) Thanks, John --- John Polstra [email protected] John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
