SO, before preopen:vmopen is called, somebody -- one of the other
loaders? -- modified 'filename' simply because /usr/bin/last.exe exists.
But I thought preopen was the very first loader.
Yes, the preopen loader gets tried first with last.a, it failed, then
find_handle is called which does an access() check for last in every dir
in path, and then tryall_dlopen()'s it if it exists.
tryall_dlopen also tries the preopen loader.
