101317 - attempt to initialize wrong files in plugins directory

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 97362

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Kevin Bube]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010921
BuildID:    0000000000

At startup Mozilla tries to initialize all files in the plugins directory, not
only .so files and not only files that have permissions set to 555.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Mozilla or check about:plugins
2.
3.

Actual Results:  The following error is reported:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/dpi/nldlib/mozilla/plugins/ShockwaveFlash.class [ld.so.1:
/dpi/nldlib/mozilla/mozilla-bin: fatal:
/dpi/nldlib/mozilla/plugins/ShockwaveFlash.class: open failed: No such file or
directory]

Expected Results:  It should have initialized only the .so files.

Mozilla starts up properly and the plugin seems to work in spite of the error
message.

That class file is used by ns4 but not mozilla.. so not loading it is OK.

Duplicate of 'Plugins have "invalid ELF header"' -- we _should_ be loading only
.so files from that dir
