gingercat% /usr/gcc-3.1/bin/c++filt  static_QUType_ptr

Oddly enough, this only demangles when I use gcc 3.1. Perhaps you're
trying to link libraries built by different C++ compilers ?

Anyway, looks like you've got a compatibility issue of sorts, perhaps a
shared library conflict, or something.

I'd try running ldd and looking for obvious red flags (such as attempts
to link to two different versions of the same library) in the output.
