The original dll_init code was living under the wrong assumption that
dll_dllcrt0_1 and in turn dll_list::alloc will be called for each
LoadLibrary call. The same wrong assumption was made for
cygwin_detach_dll/dll_list::detach called via FreeLibrary.
In reality, dll_dllcrt0_1 gets only called once at first LoadLibrary
and cygwin_detach_dll once at last FreeLibrary.
In effect, reference counting for DLLs was completely broken after fork:
parent:
l1 = dlopen ("lib1"); // LoadLibrary, LoadCount = 1
l2 = dlopen ("lib1"); // LoadLibrary, LoadCount = 2
fork (); // LoadLibrary in the child, LoadCount = 1!
child:
dlclose (l1); // FreeLibrary actually frees the lib
x = dlsym (l2); // SEGV
* Move reference counting to dlopen/dlclose since only those functions
have to keep track of loading/unloading DLLs in the application context.
* Remove broken accounting code from dll_list::alloc and dll_list::detach.
* Fix error handling in dlclose.
