(This is a repost since I haven't got any response from first post)

Hello all hackers -

I'm almost done with a native port of JDK 1.1.2 to FreeBSD and 
I am having a few difficulties with dynamic libraries. (Yes, that's ld.so 
stuff)

The java virtual machine (java_g) gets a segmentation fault when going
through the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to execute a function in a dynamic
library (in this case, libawt_g.so). 

The libawt_g.so library is loaded via a dlopen() call.  In gdb, I get the 
following output after the library is loaded and the VM crashed:

---- cut here -----

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Notice the "No" for libawt_g.so in the column "Syms Read".  What does 
this mean???

Have I forgotten to do something after dlopen()?

Regards,
Alex.

PS:  I am using dlsym() to get the address of the function.
