The fact that it works with one compiler and not with the other is of
course no proof of either one being right :-) What I meant is that the
question 32 vs 64 bit affects the layout of the virtual function table, so
I wouldn't be surprised if an accidentially working program breaks when
you change something like the layout of the vt.
That being said, I reopened the report to let others have a second look on
things.
