Theo is dead set against using dlopen in "critical" software like sshd.
When we added smartcard support to OpenSSH I had to remove the dynamic
reader library loading, and bind statically against one reader library
(currently Todos).

I think the long term solution is to get linux and the BSDs to agree on a
common setpag syscall, and have it available even if afs is not loaded.
Then sshd can call setpag without worrying about SIGSYS.  A helper process
can be used to acquire tokens.
