sigh. yes, one too many cut and pastes. Make that three ways not to do
it.
It is interesting that one can declare a function returning MyClass,
never define or
use it, and the compiler never says a word, while it will emit warnings
for used 
variables.

so much for malformed code and compiler oddities. I hope the original
poster got
his problem solved.
