Huuuu... from what I remember of Win memory management, it doesn't
reload the DLL, it just map the image in his address space.

It could be, since the handling of modules is waaaay different, a
module is loaded once and then he handle multiple requests spawning
multiple children (behavour inerithed from Unix).

Nope. The problem is in your module. You have to rewrite it in
order to handle multiple requests in one single instance.

AFAIK no.
