[ actually, you get a sigsegv not a link error, right? ]

I remember running into something similar in my code which works fine
with two different compilers based on EDG front-end, and couldn't
figure out the problem. The workaround I found for egcs was to define 
a destructor (class D in your case), which should work for your case 
as well. Please try it out.

I never did get a small enough testcase to report, so glad to see a 
compact one like yours.
