It occurs when you define a function of the same name as one or more functions in a superclass, which effectively shadows the super class function(s). If an object of the class is then up-casted to the super class with a shadowed function and that function is then called, a runtime exception is thrown.

Oh right, I'd completely forgotten this feature :-)  The discussion took 
place in this forum a few months ago under the subject 
"Overloading/Inheritance issue."  Here is a link to the first post:
