Sorry, Binyamin, but it's not true that every module LOAD goes through SAF:

(1) Loading of LPA-resident modules will not in general go through SAF, though 
in some cases it will if for the first module LOADed as part of a new task. 

(2) Loading of modules that reside in a UNIX file system don't go through SAF 
in the same way, and are not really identifiable to the SAF exits involved with 
UNIX, either.
