Unstable VFS in CS2.0

Hi,

I have a perplexing problem with what appears to be an incorrectly functioning vfs on runtime. But first off, here're the links to my code:

Header file http://pastebin.ca/2178376
Cpp file http://pastebin.ca/2178377

This is simply a modified appsimple1 where I try to use the bullet engine directly. It works fine until I introduce a pointer to an int on line 90 of the header file. Note that I never actually use it; I just declare it. Once it is introduced, the system is somehow unable to load textures from the VFS: it claims that it can't find the files in the VFS. canvas.openglcommon also claims it can't open the driver database file, and the engine can't load the shaders. They all print error messages stating that they can't find or can't open the files, or that the files are not available.

It doesn't matter which pointer type I use, int*, float*, etc all produce the same error. What's even more interesting is this:
You will see that on line 60 of the  header file i have declared a csRef<iVFS>; if I uncomment that, i.e. both declarations of csRef<iVFS> and float* are in effect, then I don't get this problem. But, if I only have one of the declarations in effect, then the problem arises.

I initially thought it was some low level memory problem. However, I tried compiling and running the code on a different machine and experienced a different problem. This time, I am unable to reproduce the bug consistently: sometimes the code works with just the single int*, sometimes it doesn't work even with both the csRef and int* enabled. Sometimes, the code will refuse to work, and if I quit and restart, it works fine. (Note that when I say "refuse to work" I'm referring to the abovementioned VFS problem.) This seems to indicate some sort of threading problem.

Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on?
