Question:
My application dies with a panic LDR-IMPORT 2 - what does this mean?

Answer:
This panic is produced by this code from the fileserver:

GLDEF_C void NonExistentImport()
//
// This function placed in the import address table
// of executables that import a function ordinal that
// does not exist in the pulled in dll.
//

{
_LIT(KLDRIMPORT, "LDR-IMPORT");

User::Panic(KLDRIMPORT, ELdrImportedOrdinalDoesNotExist);
}
What's happened here is that your app has called a function in some DLL which doesn't exist - this means that the LIB file you built against does not match the DLL used at runtime. This implies a break in binary compatibility, and the most likely explanation is building against a LIB file which has some new exported functions, then using an older version of the DLL.
