Yes true, of course the outdated lib cache is a problem in case of crashes (and not only in theory, also with some real world test crashes we faced recently on AIX).   But currently the  `LoadedLibraries::reload()`  is doing quite a lot of different allocs, this can be problematic in some crash situations.
