Assertion failure in inheritance.hpp

[This is a resend of a message accidentally sent from the 'wrong' email
account. Sorry if the list winds up with two copies...]

When I run the program appended below on Windows (Visual Studio 8 2005),
I get the following:

Assertion failed: m_local_id >= local_id_base, file
C:\d\OdiGatewayEmulator\luab ind\luabind/detail/inheritance.hpp, line 86

But it seems to work fine on Linux/gcc 4.4.3.

Can anyone explain this? Moving the luabind::open() call inside Init()
(so that it doesn't get called at static initialization time) makes the
assertion go away, but I'd like to understand what's going on...

----------

#include <luabind/luabind.hpp>

struct Base
{
     virtual void DoIt() = 0;
};

struct Derived : Base
{
     lua_State* L;

     Derived()
     {
         L = luaL_newstate();
         luabind::open(L);
     }

     void Init()
     {
         using namespace luabind;
         module(L)
         [
             class_<Base>("Base"),
             class_<Derived, Base>("Derived")
               .def("DoIt", &Derived::DoIt)
         ];

         // This call triggers an assertion failure if *this is static
         globals(L)["thing"] = this;
     }

     void DoIt() { }
};


static Derived thing1;

int main()
{
     thing1.Init();  // <-- This call triggers an assertion failure
     Derived thing2;
     thing2.Init();  // <-- This call is okay
     return 0;
}
