I don't know if anyone has managed to look at this. I haven't had a 
deluge of e-mails telling me that I've done something silly (which is a 
shame, because then I could fix it quickly and move on). For the sake of 
a straw to clutch at, I tried compiling with clang++ rather than g++, 
and got the same result:

     $ ./go.sh
     Running test (static link)...
     Done.

     Running test (shared link)...
     ./go.sh: line 19:  3744 Aborted                 (core dumped) 
./shared_test
     Done.

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Dave.
