reload .so without restarting process

[Hatt Tom]

Thanks ! The problem has been resolved .

And hereis one question I should get to be clear of . if I link one
.so into one executeable file , would this increase the reference
count by one already ? so dlclose would not unload that .so until the
reference count decrease to zero .
