Ah yes, sorry, I did not ready your original post carefully enough.

I think the problem is that dlopen is called (in loadfile_private mode), 
without RTLD_GLOBAL (but also without RTLD_LOCAL, which is never used).

According to:

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/dlopen.3.html

the default is RTLD_GLOBAL under Mac OS, contrary to Linux (default is 
RTLD_LOCAL).


I'll try to apply a fix.
