--- Comment #2 from Carlos O'Donell <carlos at redhat dot com> ---
This is normally not a problem except when constructors spawn threads to do
additional work, which seems like a scenario we might support. In order to
support it we would have to quiesce the state of the loader, release the locks,
and run the constructor. This is something we have never supported before, but
could in the future.
