So I don't see any problems either way. [ssp-root@jood1 /home/ssp]$ file /bin/sh /bin/sh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for FreeBSD 8.2 (802510), stripped Technically yes, 10.x binary can open 9.x DSO and we won't know, but I don't think this situation would happen in real life. -Maxim
