This should not be true; if the module's load_module() function returns
AST_MODULE_LOAD_FAILURE, the loading process will be stopped and
Asterisk will not continue starting up. The only way for the module to
let Asterisk continue loading is for that function to return one of the
other AST_MODULE_LOAD_<xxx> values.
