 In filtermanager.cpp there is a call to dlopen(). There is no
 corresponding call to dlclose(). The dynlib will be ref count incremented
 on the dlopen(). So the handle will never be reclaimed unless the count is
 decremented by the dlclose().

 Closing the dynlib handle does not mean the symbol is closed too. Only
 that the ref count on the dynlib is decremented. When the symbol is closed
 the handle will eventually have a ref count of zero and the handle will be
 reclaimed.
