When I ran gdb, and tried to read the passed variable, it told me
incomplete type.  That's why I thought maybe it had been constructed
wrong, and the ref value was wrong (it might be trying to free a class
instance that hadn't been created).  The constructor is NOT called,
according to gdb.

It's the libg++ 2.7.2, and there wasn't a libg++ 2.7.2.1 (2.7.2 was the
one that covered that release).  Does your software require something
more recent?  The compiler were using is 2.7.2.1, and we're not going to
be upgrading real quick here.

I'll try more experimentation, I wish I felt as at-home with C++ as with
C, but I'm not entirely lost.
