State-Changed-Why:
    Confirmed. Here's a very slightly reduced testcase:
    --------------------------
    struct A { };
    
    struct B {
    	B(A *) {}
    };
    
    struct C : virtual public A, public B {
    	C() : B(this) {}
    };
    
    struct D : virtual public C {};
    
    main() {
      new D();
    }
    ------------------------
    Executing this program segfaults with 3.2.2, 3.3, and 3.4.
    So it is a regression, assuming the code is legal.
    
    The problem is in casting this to A* in the constructor
    C::C. It's trying to cast to a virtual base, and it seems
    to me that this information is not available at the time
    we get to C::C, which then causes the segfault. But that's
    just a wild guess.
