 Synopsis: dynamic_cast seems to lose or change information
 
 State-Changed-From-To: analyzed->closed
 State-Changed-By: nathan
 State-Changed-When: Mon May 28 04:29:54 2001
 State-Changed-Why:
     further email from originator points out this invokes undefined effects.
     specifically we bind a temporary to a reference, and then
     the temporary goes out of scope. The dynamic cast
     version fails, as they dynamic cast is implemented by a function
     call which clobbers the memory of that temporary. The
     static cast case does not fail, because memory happens to
     have the right things in it.
