Description
On 32bit RetroArch, Mupen64Plus-Next fails to open after loading and unloading the core a couple of times, spitting out the following error:
Failed to open libretro core: "/data/data/com.retroarch.ra32/cores/mupen64plus_next_libretro_android.so" Error(s): dlopen failed: couldn't reserve 162271232 bytes of address space for "/data/data/com.retroarch.ra32/cores/mupen64plus_next_libretro_android.so"
I can confirm that it doesn't happen on 64bit.
Previously reported it here, but m4xw determined it to be a frontend issue.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the repeated load/unload sequence on 32-bit Android, then trace the frontend path that opens the libretro core and compare it with the linked report. Done means Mupen64Plus-Next can be opened repeatedly after unloading without the address-space error.
