[7.5][Bug] Override in OsTimeZone kills DLLCC interface

Andre Schnoor
One of the NetClients packages requires the "OSTimeZone" parcel as a
prerequisite. This parcel overrides

    ExternalLibraryHolder>>load

in such way that libraries declarced as #linkedIn are no longer
loadable. This in turn locks up the whole image (at least in my case).
OSTimeZone should not override anything here, which is not related to
time zone functionality (it also overrides the library paths and
filenames in MacOSXSystemSupport -- argh). Leads to unpredictable results.

BTW: Overrides in the external interface framework seem to be a general
cause of trouble.
