InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!

I get the following message in the .err file after running my mysql++ application:

071011 10:48:07 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!

InnoDB: Starting crash recovery.
InnoDB: Reading tablespace information from the .ibd files...

After running the embedded application, the log does not always contain messages about "Starting an apply batch of log...". However, the "InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!" message is consistently there.

If I access the same database via mysqld, I do not see these messages once I have opened and closed the database a couple of times. I am shutting down the mysqld before running the embedded app.

I notice in the mysql++ code that mysql_library_end() is not called, but it seems that the mysql embedded documentation states that this function should be called. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I'm running the following (all debug configuration): mysql++-2.3.2 - built on my machine with Microsoft VC++ 2005, linked against:
