Nothing at all, you just continue to be top of the "I've found another bug in the runtime linker" pile :-) Seems we have parent<->caller relationships maintained for all dependencies, and a special relationship is fabricated for things like dlopen(RTLD_PARENT), but there's insufficient state being maintained to associate an individual "parent" direct binding to the dlopen() caller. Sigh. I'll file a bug and keep you informed. Bottom line, for an object that is dlopen()'ed you'll have to keep external references as "extern" in their mapfiles until I fix this bug. -- Rod.
