A real example:
uname -a
OpenBSD garwain.aquarius.home 3.2 GENERIC#25 i386
file *.0
libtowitoko.so.2.0: OpenBSD/i386 demand paged shared library not stripped
(evidently no a.out)

When trying to lookup the symbol "CT_init" I get an error ("not found").
The symbol "_CT_init" however is looked up correctly, and this is in fact the 
function I was looking for.

regards
MArtin
