IOhannes,

Mind if I remove this patch for this release?  I think that the 1000  
line "already loaded" dump is currently too common, for whatever  
reason, and since this functionality isn't currently in use, as far as  
I know, I think it makes sense to keep this patch out until the whole  
abstraction loader thing is figured out.

I am fine with adding it back in whenever its needed.
