Mixing an nidmm PXI-407x session and niswitch sessions causes unexpected failures finding the NI-SWITCH Functions on Linux

Issue で再現された Python 3.9/Linux のシーケンスから始め、niswitch/_library.py、niswitch/_library_interpreter.py、および traceback に示されているセッション初期化パスを調べます。NI-SWITCH より前に NI-DMM または NI-CPower をロードした場合に、シンボル検索へどのような影響があるかを比較します。dmm_session.initiate() の後に再現コードで両方のシミュレーションセッションを、誤解を招く DriverTooOldError なしで開ければ完了です。

Description of issue

Using Python 3.9.15, NI-DMM 23.5 and the nidmm 1.4.5 python package, I get weird behavior when using a 407x device and mixing usage of NI-DMM and NI-SWITCH sessions (used the niswitch 1.4.5 package, but I also reproduced with the nidcpower 1.4.5 package).

Specifically after running a very small program (listed below in the steps to reproduce) that includes opening an NI-DMM session, calling dmm.initiate(), and then opening an NI-SWITCH Session, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/.pyenv/versions/3.9.15/lib/python3.9/site-packages/niswitch/_library.py", line 65, in _get_library_function
    function = getattr(self._library, name)
  File "/home/user/.pyenv/versions/3.9.15/lib/python3.9/ctypes/__init__.py", line 387, in __getattr__
    func = self.__getitem__(name)
  File "/home/user/.pyenv/versions/3.9.15/lib/python3.9/ctypes/__init__.py", line 392, in __getitem__
    func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: /home/user/.pyenv/versions/3.9.15/bin/python: undefined symbol: niSwitch_InitWithTopology

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    raise errors.DriverTooOldError() from e
niswitch.errors.DriverTooOldError: A function was not found in the NI-SWITCH runtime. Please visit http://www.ni.com/downloads/drivers/ to download a newer version and install it.

The error is clearly misleading. I shouldn't have any issues opening a session to both devices.

I am using IVI simulated devices, so no hardware is required.
If I simulate a 4081 DMM instead of a 4071, the error doesn't happen.
If I remove the dmm.initiate() call then the error doesn't happen.
If I use Python 3.10.8 then even the reproducing example as written doesn't reproduce.
I have also rewritten the example using a simulated nidcpower.Session (using a 4190), and that DOES reproduce (so I think that nidmm must be at fault).

I have found that this is very particular, and if I modify the code slightly I can stop seeing the error (move the dmm.initiate() after opening the niswitch.Session and its fine).
