The change looks correct. =


The change made by me some time ago (2nd christmas day 2011) where there us=
ed to be a KoPAPageBase seems to me a likely cause of this bug, apologies f=
or not finding the unit test regression, and thanks for the fix!

 a Page*.  I'm not sure that behaviour is even defined in the C++ standard,=
