It's not clear to me that working "more like Solaris" was what we were
after, and since I don't know the loader code I can't evaluate the patch
very well. Would you mind describing the semantic differences caused by
your patch, and if possible, how they play out in C++?

More documentation is always appreciated!

Thanks,
