Hi,
I've committed the attached patch which corrects a problem with a
dangling pointer in sid/component/cfgroot/libltdl. The comment in the
code explains the problem.
Is there an upstream repository for this library that should also be
examined/updated?
Dave

* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): After each call to lt_dlclose, make sure
that the handle pointed to by 'cur' still exists.
