Bug Description
Compiz opengl plugin leaks a handle to itself (libopengl.so). This means that if plugins are reloaded, the old copy of libopengl.so stays in memory.
Really instead of:
dlhand = dlopen ("libopengl.so", RTLD_LAZY);
funcPtr = (GL::FuncPtr) dlsym (dlhand, name);
it should be more like:
funcPtr = (GL::FuncPtr) dlsym (RTLD_DEFAULT, name);
