You are correct there, I did not read carefully enough.

I don't think so. Same ballpark, perhaps. That's why you got corrected. As a 
reminder, you started out saying:

---
Likely a library it's linking to has been compiled with a compiler not
ABI compatible with what myth was compiled with (2.96 v 3.X?), or some
psycho-babble sounding like that. (The "_ZNBlahHorkBeeble" bullshit is a
clue)
---

That isn't spot on. Later on, after a solution had already been presented, you 
got closer.

I just sent off another message admitting I made a mistake there.

You didn't get jumped all over. You got corrected. Perhaps a little 
over-zealously, but you're being a bit so yourself.

You might need to meet Isaac's approval, but not mine. People "get the 
smack-down" somewhat regularly on this list, myself included, but most don't 
bitch and whine about it, they learn from it. Help is always welcomed. Just 
don't get defensive when you're on the wrong track and get corrected.
