Crash on x64?

[Alex Balashov]

Greetings,

I am running a very high-volume FreeRADIUS installation on RHEL 5 (not 
my choice), and noticed that FreeRADIUS was periodically dying after 
instantiating a great many worker servers.  I looked at the output in 
GDB and got:

Continuing.

Is this a bug in the x64 libdl?
