#define MAX_NUM_DLLS 100 and errror "maximal number of DLLs reached"

Hi,
the good old DLL hell is haunting down R PRO, is it possible to increase that MAX_NUM_DLL limit in R-src/src/main/Rdynload.c. I think that comes from an era 10-15 years ago. Probably the cache space (70 bytes) needs to be increased too in CACHE_DLL_SYM.

I am getting constantly getting errors such as "maximal number of DLLs reached". I am not the only one, a quick search for maximal number of DLLs reached reveals

Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : 
  unable to load shared object 'abcxyz.dll':
  `maximal number of DLLs reached...

Cheers
Tobias
