Let us have:

1. Static library (St1) with global object (g_O) 
2. Shared library Sh1 which links St1. 
3. Shared library Sh2 which links St1. 
4. Executable which dynamically loads Sh1 and Sh2. 

During the load of Sh1 global object g_O is created at memory address, for
example, 0x01 (i.e. `this' pointer refers to 0x01). During the load of Sh2
global object g_O initialized once more, and if Sh1 was not unloaded yet g_O’s
`this' pointer refers to 0x01 .  Thus when Sh1 is unloaded object g_O at address
0x01 is destroyed and when Sh2 unloaded g_O at 0x01 destroyed once more.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Unpack the attached tarball. It contains the test case for the situation
described above.
2. Run "gmake" to compile the test case.
3. Change dir to the newly created ./bin
4. Run "./double_destruction"

Actual results:

Loading libmaster.so
this(0x8EAC20) ctor(Global)
this(0x8EAC20) out(master self)
Loading libslave.so
this(0x8EAC20) ctor(Global)
this(0x8EAC20) out(slave self)
this(0x8EAC20) dtor
this(0x8EAC20) dtor should not be called more than once!!!

That is:
Shared library libmaster.so is loaded 
Constructor of the global object is called
Some method of the global object is executed
Shared library libslave.so is loaded
Constructor of the same global object is called once more
Some method of the global object is executed
Destructor of the global object is called
Destructor of the same global object is called once more

Expected results:

Loading libmaster.so
this(0x8EAC20) ctor(Global)
this(0x8EAC20) out(master self)
Loading libslave.so
this(0x8EAC20) out(slave self)
this(0x8EAC20) dtor
