[debug] getting valgrind full backtrace when debugging a dynamically loaded library

Little tip:

If you are getting something like this in valgrind while debugging a dynamically loaded library, it is because the symbols from the library have been deleted when the program called dl_close.

You need to remove the dl_close call to get a full stack trace.
