The load and unload points are in the same file wrapped in the same extern "C". 

In my in-expect browsing of the code I could not see any way that the unload hook was being called on server exit.  I was just hoping someone with a clue would confirm that for me, and maybe suggest a way to achieve the same effect.

Using onexit is not going to work since a hook reload would almost certainly cause a segfault during server exit.
