So all Magick++ C++ code is compiled with Borland C++ Builder 6?  If
part is compiled with Borland C++ Builder 6 but the C++ DLL from the
binary distribution is used, there will certainly be problems.  Even
at the C level, there can be differences between Microsoft and
Borland.  One difference I am aware of is that Borland may select a
different sized type for an enum depending on the range of the enum
values.

Can you try building everything using Borland C++ Builder 6 and see if
the problem goes away?

Also, does the coderInfo test (Magick++\tests\coderInfo.cpp) pass? If
this test passes, then at least the behavior is consistent.

Clearly a bug.  Thanks for letting me know.
