 To note, this seems to be a gmodule problem, and not dia one. With this 
 hack-patch, dia starts, but is still unable to load shape_filter and 
 svg_filter:

 Theory: gmodule, especially with lazy binding, somehow can't handle 
 recursive lookups (a dyld binds to another dyld while initializing). I 
 don't know enough about dyld or gmodule (yet) to figure this thing out 
 properly...
