Hi,

currently I'm struggling with some segfaults here and there created by dynamic 
loaders in different parts of my code.

If my perl4ser module is built and loaded as a dynamic module (as it should 
be), it is not possible to use perl modules that again load shared objects: 
in this case, openser segfaults (for unknown reasons... deep within the perl 
library). With a static module, it works fine.

If the module loading by dlopen() is modified to use RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL as 
it's flags, this seems to work fine.

Unfortunately, t_relay() breaks, then: Any call that is processed by t_relay() 
causes a segfault :((((

In a nutshell: With RTLD_LOCAL (default behavior on linux), perl segfaults. 
With RTLD_GLOBAL, t_relay segfaults :((

So my questions are:
* Is there any particular reason why you don't set the "RTLD_GLOBAL" flag in
  sr_module.c? Besides the segfault, that is ;). Yes, I know that this flag
  probably does not exist on all supported platforms...
* Although OpenSER works well, I see a problem here; do you agree?
* Do you have any idea how to fix the problem? I'm not really deep into the
  matter of dynamic loading... :(

Thx in advance!

Frustrated,
   Bastian
