What is happening here is, that the "module initializer" for the
module natClass.cc has not yet been run.  (I.e., the logic that also
does C++ file-scope initialization).  This renders the variable
`init_name' and `init_signature' unititialized (which asre the null
values you observe).  This is strange, since you've reached main, and
this stuff happens in __main (which is secretly called as the first
thing in main).  I had the same problem on Solaris a while back,
linking statically solved the problem, but that's a pain of cause.
(and not just a matter of saying -static on the command line.)  I
didn't dive further into it, I just kept working on my i386-linux box
instead.
