This looks like there was a failure in your dll1_func which appears
to be properly loaded into the child.  The fix that I added to recent
DLLs was only to allow a DLL to load in the same location in the child
as it was in the parent, when there were multiple DLLs loaded to the
same location.

I would not expect this to have any affect on your test case.
