I finally found out (thanks Usenet !) : this has nothing to do with QF but
is AIX specific, as any shared library loaded into memory stays "stuck"
there until machine reboot or explicit call (by root) to "slibclean".

I can't help directly on the other question about QF and AIX 5.1, I really
did not have any compilation problems with QF in itself and I am not an 
AIX expert in any way.
