I have a vague memory that native libraries are linked into a JVM on a class-loader-specific basis, and I have another vague memory that there is no unload() for native libraries ...

In the JDK, each class loader manages its own set of native libraries. *The same JNI native library cannot be loaded into more than one class loader.* Doing so causes |UnsatisfiedLinkError| to be thrown.
