Hi Andy,

Yes, I always compile with -Wall -pedantic and it complains vigorously if
you don't accompany virtual functions with a virtual destructor!

Yes, thanks - I'll give it a go. The actual class that caused the original
problem is one of the few in our application without any virtuality so that
might well be significant.

I did install 3.0.1 and got my code to compile okay with it. But we went back
to 2.95 becaues 3.0.1 seems soooo slow at C++ (and 2.96 so dodgy! :-) It's
another good thing to try though.

Cheers
