It seems not, for both shared libraries that are linked in at startup time by the dynamic linker and shared libraries that are explicitly opened via dlopen().
It would certainly make life a lot easier if we could assume that dlopen
doesn't reduce your open-files limit.
Attached is the test program I used.
Can folks please try this on other platforms?
