I think I have rewritten dll_list::detach to avoid the reliance on a
passed-in pointer so that the above patch is no longer necessary.  I
tried it with a simple test case and it seemed to work ok.  I didn't
try it with a fork() case, though.  Can you confirm that this fixes
your problem?

Thanks for tracking this down so thoroughly, btw.
