[racket-dev] results of dlopen (hence ffi) persistent across evaluations?

Sounds reasonable.  May I add this text to the docs for ffi-lib? :


Note! On UNIX-based platforms, loaded libraries are associated with Racket or DrRacket for the duration of the process; re-evaluating ffi-lib will not force a re-load of the corresponding library.
