Hehe I had something similar where I had forgotten to type the "()" after a 
release call on a texture object (this is DirectX).  For some reason the 
compiler though that:

texture1->Release;

was a perfectly fine statement, but of course it wasn't calling the release 
function to free up the memory.  It took me ages to track this one down, 
because quickly reading that line you don't notice the () missing, and it 
just caused random crashes occasionally on exit.

Took me a while to figure out the whole delete [] palaver too.

Oh well, you live and learn :-)
