I wasn't aware that this could happen.  It doesn't seem to be
documented on my RHL 7.3 box :-(

Anyway, it seems reasonable to me for us to chop off the class name at
the `$' before passing it to dlopen.  This gives a little less
flexibility in naming the .so, but I don't think this loss is very
important.  Any comments on this idea?

Meanwhile, please submit a PR for this.  We don't want to forget about
it.
