May be, for some reason DLLs are created without the relocation
information (or with malformed relocation info)? When you just compile
two DLLs from the same source, they will have the same base address.
Loading the first DLL will succeed if its base address is not occupied
by some other DLL. But after that attempting to load the second DLL
with the same base address would cause Windows to relocate it to another
address - and without correct relocation information that would fail.

If this is the scenario, then either you specify wrong compiler
options, or the compiler (or linker) really generates malformed DLLs.
