Why does CppUnit give me seg faults?

I've narrowed the seg fault down to 3 lines of code that I've commented out below. If I uncomment any of these lines I get a seg fault.

Code:

---

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
        if ( argc != 3 )
        {
                std::cerr << "Usage: sample <host> <port>" << std::endl;
                return 1;
        }

        /// Create a new TestSuite & add the sample test.
        CppUnit::TestSuite testSuite( "Sample Test" );
        SampleTest sampleTest( argv[1], argv[2] );
//        testSuite.addTest( &sampleTest );

        /// Adds the test to the list of test to run
        CppUnit::TextUi::TestRunner runner;
        CppUnit::XmlOutputter xmlOutput( &runner.result(), std::cerr );
//        runner.setOutputter( &xmlOutput );
//        runner.addTest( &testSuite );
        runner.run();

        return 0;
}

This is the first time I've tried using CppUnit, so I'm probably not using it right...

According to an example from their cookbook, CppUnit::TestSuite::addTest takes a pointer to a dynamically allocated test object.

EDIT:
Yeah, considering that there is a TestSuite::deleteContents member function that destroys all the tests in the suite, passing a pointer to a stack allocated object would be wrong.

OK, I thought it might be something like that, but the CppUnit documentation really sucks. It would certainly be nice if they told you who is responsible for deleting pointers... :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance for your help.
