The above looks suspicious. The cast you're doing here is unsafe. Your 
check on base on the second line is useless, as the C-style cast you're 
using doesn't do any checking. So, my suspicion is that your item isn't 
a BaseObject, and thus the method call you make into it is going to 
fail. Use a dynamic_cast<BaseObject*>(item) for your cast instead. That 
cast _ will_  result in a 0 pointer if the cast fails.
