Ellen,

I often build with /GR and /GX though I'm not exactly clear why.

Also, are you building your own application code with /GX?

I have used RTTI dynamic casts inside GDAL but it is possible your problems
relates to using it across the DLL boundaries.  I'm not sure if that is
related or not.

Best regards,
