No - the code to load plugins scans a directory and only loads files
from that directory.  Furthermore, if whatever routine "g_module_open()"
calls to load a plugin at run time fails because the file doesn't exist,
there'd be a warning message printed saying "Couldn't load module XXX",
not a fatal message from the dynamic loader.

That's why I suspect it somehow got linked at build time with the DOCSIS
plugin.
