Comment(by erkki.vahala@…):

 Boost python has also other problems related to initialization via static
 variables: on Windows, loading a DLL, which defines boost python modules
 with BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE macros, causes RTTI data to be stored in a static
 registry (converter/registry.cpp). If the DLL is then unloaded, registry
 will contain danging pointers - subsequent attempts to load DLLs with
 modules/exercise the registry by other means will cause a memory access
 violation as the registry tree comparison operations try to access the
 stale RTTI data.
