I would also suggest declaring empty virtual destructors for any 
inherited classes for which you have no specific
need for a destructor. I dont really know why this should be necessary, 
but for some reason (at least in the past)
I have found this necessary, and now do it as a habit.

An isolated test-case is definitly the way to go!
