I think from your perspective, if you compile with the mutexes internally implemented you can close the bug. Then when we fix it upstream you'd stop compiling with that option. It should be a simple fix, (except for figuring out how to adjust autoconf but that's never simple :-) However, from a security perpective (e.g. an suid GGI application) we need to know what the implications of calling dlopen on a symbol rather than an explicit filename on all OSes, what information may take some time to gather unless there happens to be a guru listening who can allay our fears. -- Brian
