Ok, I agree, but nevetheless, an abort ? :) Could be
something more explicit, but being the only exception

Hm <scratch, scratch>, so you map dynamic libraries to
user vm spaces, while when they are loaded in kernel
space, we "call" them kld modules ?

I thought that without the people tinkering here there
