In short: Call for virtual function in constructor is redirected to the local function because, the derived part of the object has not being initialized yet(remember you are still in Bases' constructor) and it makes no sense to call a derived's implementation of a virtual function, which in turn be using some (still uninitialized) non-static data members of derived class.
You can read it in detail over here: http://www.parashift.com/c%2B%2B-faq-lite/calling-virtuals-from-ctors.html Also i recommend - *Inside the C++ Object Model* By Stanley B. Lippman.
