Are you saying that if I switch from
scoped_ptr to shared_ptr the destructor will get called?
Is he saying that the destructor is NOT getting called with 
scoped_ptr? (!)

No. 

Borland C++ Builder 5.5 (with debug turned on) generates the 
destructor code in the wrong translation unit. So suddenly my 
auto_ptr's, scoped_ptr's, etc, hold pointers to incomplete types. The 
auto_ptr's don't call the destructors, and the scoped_ptr's won't 
compile (because of that cool compile time incomplete type check). I 
tried switching to shared_ptr but my destructors were not called 
either. I am so mad at Borland right now.
