Your patch is actually in lt_dlopenext(), not lt_dlopen().

On inspection, I don't see a code path that leaves handle non-NULL on
an error return.  I'm also unable to reproduce the problem, and none
of the bugs referencing this problem has an adequate description.

Can you give me a formula to demonstrate this problem?  I don't have
mysql, which a lot of the cases seem to revolve around.
