Yeah, sorry. When loading a library into a new dlmopen namespace, I
wonder how other libraries needed by that library are handled. E.g.,
a BC-compiled .so will depend on libgcj_bc.so. I suppose it would try
to load a new copy of libgcj_bc.so into the new namespace... but this
is incorrect for our situation.
