Subject:   bringing dlopen() fix from -CURRENT to -STABLE? (mozilla blocker)

Hello..

A while ago a bug was revealed (and fixed) regarding dlopen() and
symbols behaviour in FreeBSD when loading shared libraries. This was (as
far as I've understood it) fixed in -CURRENT, but never brought into
-STABLE.
This bug is a blocker for Mozilla on FreeBSD 3.x (which is the current
FreeBSD stable branch). Mozilla simply won't run without it.

Is there by any chance that someone, pretty pretty please with sugar on
top, would bring this fix back into -STABLE?


This FreeBSD PR has all info needed:

This bug filed in Bugzilla describes why Mozilla depends on this fix:

I'm volunteering to help with my limited skills!

Markus
