Subject: [PATCH] do not use default when dynamic linker fails to open existing
 path file

if fopen fails for a reason other than ENOENT, we must assume the
intent is that the path file be used. failure may be due to
misconfiguration or intentional resource-exhaustion attack (against
suid programs), in which case falling back to loading libraries from
an unintended path could be dangerous.
