Dunno if you didn't find time, or weren't able to reproduce it, but
I found two similar reports on Google, so while I can't see the bug
I do agree it's there (although quite rare).  I would still like to
understand the problem, so if you're able to get to this, great.

But anyway, it looks easy to address in freeradius (as opposed to
ltdl.c) so I'm going to try that.  It's just a bit iffy since I can't
actually reproduce the bug, but I figure, FR can't run under this
condition anyway, the bug is just that it segfault's instead of
reporting a useful error.

Let me know what you think.
