Hi Roland, We found this to be the only generic way of handling things. On some architectures not all symbols would be visible from the common area in the plugins when doing a dynamic link. This was not the case for a regular linux cluster like yours but it is not a silver bullet.
We are aware it is not ideal, but on some systems it didn't appear there was any other way of doing it. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you want to change the code as you describe you are welcome to it as it should work on your system, but probably won't in every case.
