Fixed, committed. The next few are cause by this. ANOTHER MSVC not
liking pointer construction. Bah.

This is (AFAIK) wrong. Can you see if MS have anything to say on this?

I've just taken the time to dig up the C++ standard on delete, and my
deleteSelf idiom is unneeded - BUT, I don't know how many compilers are
standards compliant in this respect...
So, I'll put a little test program together, and we can see what occurs,
on gcc 2.95+, gcc3.3, MSVC etc. The OS2 port (and any other pre-egcs
only gcc environments) may need special testing too.
