I just uploaded a revised prox_mi.zip.  The .run files have more detailed output clearly showing the problem
occurs because in the call to subjB::operator delete(void*p), p doesn't point to the beginning of the object
in *smart.run but it does in *prox.run.

The example test is very similar to that posted in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/23184
except the multi inheritance allows clearer illustration of the problem (clearer because the p in the
*smart.run clearly doesn't point to start of object).
