There is a bug in the dynamic linker in connection with calling dlopen
or dlclose from a static constructor or destructor, and this sounds
like it's related to that. I came up with a fix for it which Peter
Wemm was testing at Yahoo. That was a few months ago, and I'll have
to dig it out again after the holiday madness has subsided. If you
haven't heard from me by Saturday Jan. 6, I'd appreciate a gentle
reminder to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
