Dynamic casting does not appear to be working at all

[John Allen]

A dynamic_cast<> from a base class to a derived class produces
a compile time error.
Also calling a method via a member pointer which is typedef'd as taking
a base class reference to A,
but is in reality expecting a derived class references to B, but is
passed a derived class reference to C,
which is then dynamic_cast<B> works where it should fail.
