John,

I would prefer that you always show an error when there is an issue
loading a library rather than only on debug builds.  Please modify your
patch to collect all load failures and display a message after all of
the libraries are loaded.  This way the user will always see the
failure(s) and subsequent libraries will still be loaded in case of a
failure.

Thanks,

Wayne
