talloc and shared objects
-------------------------
talloc can be used in shared objects. Special care needs to be taken
to never use talloc_autofree_context() in code that might be loaded
with dlopen() and unloaded with dlclose(), as talloc_autofree_context()
internally uses atexit(3). Some platforms like modern Linux handles
this fine, but for example FreeBSD does not deal well with dlopen()
and atexit() used simultaneously: dlclose() does not clean up the list
of atexit-handlers, so when the program exits the code that was
registered from within talloc_autofree_context() is gone, the program
crashes at exit.
