[issue7672] _ssl module causes segfault

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Bill: unloading the shared probably means he does dlclose() (after having done dlopen initially). Furthermore, it probably means he does that on libpythonxy.so. I'm a bit puzzled that it also affects _ssl.so (unless he dlcloses that as well) - Python, on its own, will never dlclose any library.

In any case, calling dlclose to unload a shared library has no effect on Python whatsoever. No callback is triggered, and no interpreter code gets executed in that process.
