FYI: HEAD: fix computation of filename extension in try_dlopen

[Ralf Wildenhues]

In the mdemo test, with
  ./mdemo nonexistent

I currently get 
| can't open the module asd!
| error was: not enough memory

instead of the expected "file not found" error.  The patch below should
fix this to be
| error was: file not found

by avoiding to substract a pointer from the NULL pointer.

This code seems to me not present in branch-1-5.

Cheers,
Ralf
