- There is another advantage of using 'shared' libraries: programs
- may implement parts of their code in a library, which is then loaded
- into memory only when the program needs this part of the code.
- When the system runs out of memory, the unused parts of the program
- are flushed from memory, and reloaded again when the program needs it
- again.

- The solution to this is rather easy. Programs with their own libraries
- should NOT store these libraries in LIBS:, but in a subdirectory of
- LIBS: or in a user-defined directory.
