It looks like we are intercepting the library load too late, but I haven't
investigated yet how to fix it. It's definitely possible (this works fine
in gdb), but I don't know how, as the dynamic linker is still a big unknown
to me. FWIW, I think I'll be messing with the dynamic loader plugin
soon(ish), so I'll try to fix this then.
