Research direction

Start by reviewing dynload_report_dlerror.patch and the Python 3.5 interpreter-core import and dynamic-loader code. Reproduce the reported deletion and recreation of .so files across NFS, then determine whether the attached patch accurately reports the loader failure and verify the resulting behavior with the relevant interpreter tests.
