What happens when you compile and run the code I sent with the last
message? If you declare local_y as a pointer to float, then that
corresponds to ptr. The print method of the pointer class prints the
contents of ptr directly and still prints the right value. I guess what
I am really asking is why my code doesn't reproduce the problem.

I compiled it on a Sun SPARC with Solaris 2.6 and Swarm 1.4.1,
and on a PC with NT 4 and Swarm 1.4.1. All give the same output.
