As I said before.  They are (should be) common symbols.  What this
means is that all occurrences smash into just one instance.  Any
deviation from this will cause things to fail.

If AIX cannot handle this, then we can change the symbols to be
externally defined globals, no big deal.

Let me know how else I can help.
