Paul,
the problem seems to be in the implementation of the dd_real in the qd library. I noticed that the default constructor does not initialize the number class, hence constructing it in an ill-formed state. If you recompile the qd library changing
  dd_real() { }
to:
  dd_real() { x[0]=0.0; x[1]=0.0;}

(the same for qd_) you should be ok. Let me know if this fixes it for you.
Best
Nasos
