Note that you guys seems not know what dlopen() is. POSIX and SUS
says that dlclose() does not need to unmap libraries. So, it's debian
specific wishlist. I fixed this report because it's convenient for
the upgrade from woody to sarge, but it's not mandatory behavior. So,
another word, it's also libapache-mod-php4 bug during upgrade.
