Description

=begin
Snow Leopard seems to have introduced some backward compatibility issues with the old NextStep era NSLinkModule group of functions. When trying to load RMagick the process hangs in dln_load and has to be killed using kill -9. The best fix going forward is to switch to dlopen as NSLinkModule has been deprecated since Tiger and is less efficient than dlopen in Snow Leopard.

The attached patch is a backport of r11810:
