We currently do not dlclose() any libraries (unless they export
"__kde_do_unload", or you set the env var KDE_DO_UNLOAD). So the static
deleters are run at application exit. As we anyway can't guarantee, that
the libs are dlclose'ed, the static-deleters should be made safe to run at
app exit. Btw. can you provide a backtrace?


Ciao,
Michael.
