Thanks, that's indeed an oversight on my part. Still, I think
there's something strange going on.
The problem is that the FooWrapper destructor is called twice,
one time with a garbage foo pointer. The example prints:
Destroying Foo 40CED748
Destroying Foo 4002DFF0
There is only one Foo instance created. A null pointer would make
sense, but where's that second pointer coming from?
