--- Comment #8 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
I believe it's actually possible for the current code to crash rather than
returning a junk string, so this bug should not be closed so quickly. Per the
interpretation I cited above (which I agree is unfortunate) an implementation
is not permitted to crash if an invalid DSO handle is passed. It must diagnose
the error. I would support an effort to have this requirement removed in the
next issue of POSIX.
