>From dlopen(3) on 2.2-STABLE:

     RTLD_LAZY   Each external function reference is resolved when the func-
                 tion is first called.

     RTLD_NOW    All external function references are bound immediately by
                 dlopen().

     RTLD_LAZY is normally preferred, for reasons of efficiency.  However,
     RTLD_NOW is useful to ensure that any undefined symbols are discovered
     during the call to dlopen().  If dlopen() fails, it returns a null point-
     er, and sets an error condition which may be interrogated with dlerror().
