</div>Sorry, I'm still confused. What does 'broken' means? Sorry about my<br>
ignorance: In the case of a corrupted (whatever that could mean)<br>
shared lib file, does the linker fall back to use a static lib?<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>I believe so. I know that is why I put this in. The shared lib test would break, since<br>they were not functional, but the library overall would work.<br>
