I don't think so.  Do you mean that the space for Y is never
deallocated?  What does the fact that ~X is virtual has anything to do 
with deallocation?

I already tried that, before reporting the bug.  In fact, in my code
~X() _was_ virtual when I noticed the leak.  Try to make ~X() virtual
and you'll see that you still get 2 calls to new and one call to
delete.  Again, gcc-2.8.1 is working fine as do older versions of egcs
(I tried egcs 1.0 and it used to work with older snapshots).
