Hello,

there is kind of potential deadlock inside the function, but actually
the function is not in use. I think it remained there from some initial
coding when it was planned to be able to load new tables at run-time.
That feature is not in place, so the function is not called by another
function as of now. I have fixed and then commented the declaration and
implementation of the function.

Thanks for the report, cheers,
Daniel
