If mudflap is used to instrument a program using dlopen, and the program
(assuming it is compiled with -rdynamic) loads itself by passing NULL for the
path to dlopen, the program will crash unconditionally; that is, regardless of
the options passed to mudflap, so long as instrumentation is enabled.
This is because (at least with GNU/Linux) it is valid to pass a NULL pointer as
the path argument to dlopen, and the instrumentation code unconditionally uses
strlen on that pointer, without checking first if it is NULL.
I have included the following patch, which may help fix the problem. I have not
tested it, but it should work. As always, it is "as is", with no warranty of
any kind. The patch is against svn HEAD (r104588).
