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
