GDB a VFS module

[Jagan]

Jelmer/Henrik
         Solved it by changing dlopen in
do_smb_load_module in lib/module.c with a flag
RTLD_NOW  rather than RTLD_LAZY which forces the
dlopen(abc.so) to resolve all library references
immediately. I am surprised noone has hit it yet. In
fact code says LAZY is there with a purpose. In fact
the comment that wanted it to be lazy doesnt sound
right. Who should I follow up this problem with.

Jelmer: vfstest is a great tool for testing the vfs
module abc.so. However I am unable to create a file
through the tool. I can open already existing files
etc. but cannot open/create a new one. Any reason.

with best regards
Jagan.
