We have a issue with dlsym() on symbols imported by a library that was loaded with dlopen(). Our code loads the libssl with dlopen() and then do a dlsym() on several symbols. This works for all symbols exported by libssl itself but fails for symbols exported by libcrypto.

      func = dlsym(handle, "CRYPTO_set_id_callback");

you have to use RTLD_DEFAULT instead of handle, but I agree, this is not in 
conformance with SUSv3:

   The dlsym() function shall search for the named symbol in all objects loaded 
automatically as a result of loading the object referenced by handle (see 
dlopen()). Load ordering is used in dlsym() operations upon the global symbol 
object. The symbol resolution algorithm used shall be dependency order as 
described in dlopen().

   The RTLD_DEFAULT and RTLD_NEXT flags are reserved for future use.

Note "in all objects loaded automatically".  Good catch!
