Looking back on it, I'm not sure if your comments on my last patch were 
correct. My patch only changed whether or not the immediate API call was 
used to reload the .fasl file (in ecl_library_open), it would still 
rerun initialization code (si_load_binary), whether or not the .fasl has 
already been loaded. At least, I made a simple file that just printed at 
the top-level and even with my patch it would print again everytime 
(load ...) was run.

But in case there was something more subtle I was missing, I put 
together what you suggested. Ffi and load act differently when loading 
libraries. Patch is attached.


I've also run into a strange slime error that is unrelated to this (it 
shows up with or without my patch). Whenever I use 
slime-compile-and-load I get the error "Cannot flush input stream" on 
the name of the current lisp buffer. I'm currently looking into what's 
making this happen.
