tag 527329 patch
thanks

Hi Ray,

with respect to the problem of pstoedit segfaulting at termination (this
might not matter much for command line usage, so I downgraded the
severity, but it does break programs using pstoedit, I found it with the
inkscape Render LaTeX function), I propose to disable the dlclose call.
It does not seem to be called except at program termination (when the
static variable LoadedPlugins is deinitialized and deinitializes all
DynLoader instances that have been add'ed to it), so there seems little
gain in doing the dlclose.
In the long term, another option might be to do away with the plugin
regime completely. As it is presently used, there seems little advantage
for Debian, but, naturally, you are more qualified to make this call.

Please consider attached patch. If you are busy or something, I can try
to find someone else to upload this as an NMU.

Thanks for maintaining pstoedit.

Kind regards

T.
