HCL Sametime Forum : Chat logging on Linux. Crash in static constructor

Hi all,
I'm exploring making a chat monitoring library for Sametime. I have installed Sametime 8.5 on Domino 8.5 on Suse 11.2. Using the web browsers I can create a meeting and send messages between IE and Firefox so I'm assuming the ST installation is valid. But I'm having a basic problem when I install my own chat logging shared object.

When I start up sametime, I get an NSD crash file claiming that something bad happened in a static constructor for one of my variables. My code is never being executed (As a test, I opened a file, wrote something and closed it inside the constructor). I've studied the sample code in the SDK, but it's missing components and I'm not sure about the makefile which specifies compile and link flags, but never uses them. I'm using g++ version 4.4.1

I wrote a simple test executable which calls stDdaClInit in my shared object and that works just fine. The problem occurs when my shared object is called from staddin.

So
1) Has anyone built a sametime chat logging shared object for Sametime 8.5 on Domino 8.5 on Suse 11.2?
2) What compile & link params did you use; a guaranteed working sample makefile would be great
3) Is there a correct sample directory with all the files and good makefile?
4) Any ideas what's wrong??

Thanks,
Mark.

Here is the code and crash dump:

----------------------------------------------------
Header file:

class Log {
public:
Log();
Log(const char* fileName, int level);
~Log();
// public methods removed for space

private:
int debugLevel;
FILE* logFile;
void (*logFunc)(int, const char*);
};

extern Log log;

----------------------------------------------------
C++ file:

Log log;

Log::Log()
: debugLevel(-1), logFile(NULL), logFunc(NULL)
{}
