[osg-users] Cygwin compiled version from Svn will only load and convert osg files and not gif files - any thoughts?

Actually in my mind the --image and the use of other file types does tell 
us something.  Either I modified DynamicLibrary.cpp to tell us it was going 
to close a library or it was already there but I did add another notify to 
tell us when it returned from the close. If I display a gif, jpg, rgb, bmp 
using osgViewer I will see the appropriate plugin.dll open, see the message 
it is closing and the message it closed and the program will terminate 
normally.  If I display an osg file (without the --image since it doesn't 
like that for an osg file) then I get the following output from gdb.  I 
changed the order of the closes because in Cygwin if the 
cygwin_osgdb_osgd.dll closed first you never saw the close for 
cygwin_osgdb_rgbd.dll.   Changing the order Lifo vs Fifo (not sure from 
what to what) allowed me to see the close on the rgb and then see it hang 
on cygwin_osgdb_osgd.dll.  Now as I say using the --image and other type 
images then osgviewer terminates normally.
