Ticket History #6697: segfault caused by dlerror returning NULL

We experienced a segfault due to dlerror returning NULL.  We suspect it was due to our application being multi-threaded.  We made the change below to fix it.  However, there is a second use of dlerror in the same file that should probably be fixed as well.
