That's really weird. Are you still having this problem? I don't have  
access to a Windows box at the moment so I have no idea what would be  
wrong. Perhaps windows doesn't like the cast to a doubly indirect  
pointer for some reason. Or maybe it is trying to implicitly double- 
deference them in the debugger, which of course would not work since  
they point to spots on the stack that likely are not themselves valid  
pointers.
