I can reproduce this issue by replacing the single call of dlopen() in
dynlib_open with two calls, and I have it open in a debugger if any
further information is required.

I'll prepare a proper patch next, but until then, can someone help me
out and explain why dynlib_close() returns 0 for success on Windows,
but 1 for success on POSIX systems?
