------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 I am statically linking Geos against my own C program. This program runs
 without problems, except until the very end when a glibc errors occurs.

 I have traced this back to the static string BAD_GEOM_TYPE_MSG. When I
 remove the static modifier and initialise the string inside the
 constructor, everything goes well.

 I did not get this error when linking dynamically, but Valgrind complained
 about an invalid free. This is probably the same thing, only my program
 did not crash on it.
