It's supposed to be inserted into the backscripts. Try adding some 
debugging code after startup is finished:

    get "revCommonLibrary" is in the backscripts
    answer "Common library loaded:" && it

See what it says. If it's false, there may be a bug but I'd test in LC 7 
before reporting it or at least check the bug database.
