OK, then I should keep things as simple as possible.

I'm going to have a function which takes a URL as input, and returns a
vtable from a RA DSO load. A single process might call this function
over and over -- that's okay, according to what you say above. (When
a process reloads the same DSO over and over, the OS gives it the same
pointer each time, right?)

So forget threads. I was only worried about writing "threadsafe"
code. But now that I won't have any global variables, the issue is
moot. There's no need for a global hash of loaded dso's.
