this is the K-compatible style and works indeed, even using mpath 
instead of loadpath. In K, all the time the module name has to be ended 
with ".so", while ser accepted some variants without ".so".

Both K and SER styles should work, but not combinations between styles.

For example:

loadmodule "modules_s/sl" in ser did not look in the loadpath, while in 
K any value of loadmodule that was not started with "/" was searched in 
mpath, so by appending .so you switch to K style lookup attempt as well.

Cheers,
Daniel
