question about alien library unloading

[Cosmin Apreutesei <cosmin.apreutesei@...>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a good reason for alien to
keep a reference to all libraries it loads (in alient.loaded) from
garbage collecting.

The reason I ask is because I sometimes get buffer overruns and such
if I try to unload a library by means of alien.loaded[libname] = nil;
garbagecollect('collect'). Is there a known problem with this
approach?

Thanks,
Cosmin.
