This is what I have commited.

However, from Ahmed's description of the semantics of shl_findsym, it seems 
to me that before opening any modules on HPUX we ought to be caching the self 
module address something like this:

 static shl_t self = (shl_t) 0;  lt_ptr address;
 if (!self) shl_findsym (&self, "main", TYPE_UNDEFINED, &address);

Otherwise, calling lt_dlopen(NULL) after loading other modules will return a 
handle with access to the symbols in main and the modules loaded prior to the 
self module =(O|

On the other hand, I don't recall any of this wackiness from the days when I 
developed on HPUX-11, so I was hoping someone would give a vote of confidence 
(or not) before I committed... any takers?

Comments?

Cheers,
        Gary.
