If I was to guess, I would have to think the dladdr call in PR_GetLibraryFilePathname_stub fails because
hppa uses function descriptors for indirect calls.  Did this work for ia64?  There seems to be some  trickiness
there.

I removed my debugging build, so it will be some time before I can investigate further.
