Thanks for the update, I also have made some updates to my script too to 
do things like that and it's working much better now as far as I could see.

Wow, that's quite nice to see! I guess it could then also hook the 
loader functions to refresh the list on DLL load / unload, in the same 
way gdb hooks dlopen.

(FWIW I am still unable to use rr with Wine, although I only tried again 
a few months ago and I'm not putting a lot of effort in it, but I would 
really like to succeed, it sounds useful)
