Summary: interpreter crash when import .so fails

Initial Comment:
The python interpreter crashes when import _socket
fails (.so).
This only happens when running purify (on solaris 2.8).
The problem is that dlerror() returns NULL, which is
then
passed to strlen().

Attached is a file with the stack trace which caused
the problem,
and a patch to fix the problem.
