[Vans S]

Just windows and OSX I would assume. On linux I had to take a different multiprocess approach.

 So… is the same fix, as suggested by Mr Hoguin for OSX, relevant to all three environments then?

I realize my mistake right after sending out.  Indeed its related to this, on Windows and OSX you can load two different versions of same lib just fine. On Linux, they symbols will be taken from first loaded lib, and second loaded lib will call symbols from the first loaded lib if the signatures are the same! This was the reason I had erroneous behavior and random segfaults.

 If that's on OSX you need the -dynamiclib flag, otherwise functions with 
the same name will get overwritten when the second library is loaded, 
and this can result in this kind of behavior.
