  • associating each of a plurality of processes with one of a plurality of late binding objects, such that at least two of the processes are each associated with separate late binding objects having the same identifier;

    responsive to one of the processes attempting to access a late binding object by its identifier, determining which late binding object is associated with the process; and

    making the associated late binding object available to the process;

    wherein associating each of a plurality of processes with one of a plurality of late binding objects having a same identifier further comprises creating a separate object table for each process, each object table containing at least an identifier and a location of each late binding associated with the process.
