Summary: UDF are not longer accessible

Initial Comment:
When i try to use an existing UDF i get the error message:

function <FUNCTION_NAME> is not defined.

The UDF library and all UDF definitions are working
fine with prior Firebird releases except RC1.

My Firebird installation is running under Suse Linux 7.1.

I renamed my udflib (from MERS)  to ib_udf and recreate the 
functions and it still doesn't works.

I try to use the MERS UDF library. The file is named
'udflib'. There is no prefix and no extension. It is an ELF
library compiled with GCC(egcs-2.91.66 from 03/14/1999).

I used this library with all former versions of Interbase 6
and Firebird for the last two years. Only RC1 does not find
the entry points within the module.

The standard UDF library can be used. As both libraries are
in the same directory, it cannot ne a problem of the UDF path.

The way linux/unix firebird loads ib_util, it will not find
the library if it has a lib prefix or a .so extension. 
(This is fixed in fb2).

The next unix install for fb1 will leave it as ib_util.
