I'd be interested to know which sequence of calls causes libpng to be
loaded by Gnus in a non-GUI session.  That sounds like a bug to me.

Anyway, you should be able to work around this by renaming or moving
out of PATH the image libraries.

The goal of this exercise is to see whether the problem is in any way
related to the order of loading and unloading the DLLs.  When there's
only one DLL, the order doesn't matter ;-)

Thanks.
