It's likely caused by our plugin code not properly loading the  
module.  If it doesn't open the file after the stat call, the likely  
cause is a bug in our configure scripts such that dlopen won't be  
used if the "dl" library isn't found.  (We check for dlopen in that  
library, but not for dlopen being available *without* that library.   
If we can't link against that library and find the function, we  
lose.  Oops.)  This is discussed in http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/ 
Display.html?id=3971 .

If it does try to open it, and fails after that point, it may be  
something new....
