The unloading code is extremely complicated.  In the cases where a DSO
is not unloaded so far this often happens by design.  I will need quite
some time to look at the patch and nobody else please check this in.

The biggest problem I have is people calling this a "bug".  It is not.
Unloading *always* is optional.  Programs depending on actual unloading
are broken.
