You don't have to worry about ID conflicts if the shared library doesn't
leave its database open between calls, along these lines:
... SomeEntryPoint(...)
{
<open my DB>
<use the string list resource>
<close my DB>
}
OTOH, you _do_ have to worry about conflicts if you use this (more
efficient) style:
... Open(...)
{
<open my DB>
}
... SomeEntryPoint(...)
{
<use the string list resource>
}
... Close(...)
{
<close my DB>
}
In this case, you should use the reserved range of IDs for shared libraries,
but even that doesn't protect you against conflicts with other shared
libraries.
