Thanks for the test program.  I found the problem in the dynamic linker.
It's this new code in dlsym():

        static void *   
__dlsym(fd, sym)        
        void    *fd;    
        char    *sym;   
{
        struct so_map   *smp = (struct so_map *)fd, *src_map = NULL;
        struct nzlist   *np; 
        long            addr;

        /*
         * Restrict search to passed map if dlopen()ed.
         */
        if (LM_PRIVATE(smp)->spd_flags & RTLD_DL)
                src_map = smp;

The code doesn't take into account the fact that "smp" can be NULL.  I
will commit a fix ASAP.

This could also (hopefully) be the cause of the core dumps that Masafumi
reported from running kaffe.
