Thank you very much for the info about LoadLibrary(). Regarding dlopen(), I already mentioned it in my original question (well, you wouldn't expect me to raise a question without checking it first...). I think that assuming that most of the rest are not critical (NSLinkModule, load_add_on of BeOS, DosLoadModule of OS/2, dllload of OS/390), we have only to check what happens with shl_load() (HP-UX). If the behavior of shl_load() is similar, then it will not be wrong to say that more than 99% of the installations of Apache behave this way (the sum of dlopen() + shl_load() + LoadLibrary() ). -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel
