[PATCH] Fix BZ #219


Hi!

If __libc_dlopen of some NSS module fails, lib_handle is set to (void *) -1l,
which certainly is not something we should pass to __libc_dlclose.
Similarly, __libc_dlopen doesn't like NULL to be passed to it either,
which can happen e.g. with --enable-static-nss, not sure if in other
cases too.

	* nss/nsswitch.c (free_mem) : Don't try to close a library handle
	if the handle is invalid.  Patch by David Kimdon <kimdon@esrf.fr>.
