Which kind of reasons are conceivable in the following case?

This code is running fine:
>>
        int
main( int, char *[] )
{
....
        term_t ref = PL_new_term_ref();
        if(  !PL_chars_to_term( "x( A, 2 )", ref )  )
                throw RC_Syntaxfehler;
....
}
<<
The next does not work (it seems to loop in a second thread):
>>
struct gwTerm
{       term_t ref;

        gwTerm( char const * );
};

gwTerm::gwTerm( char const *text )
{       ref = PL_new_term_ref();
        if(  !PL_chars_to_term( text, ref )  )
                throw RC_Syntaxfehler;
}

        int
main( int, char *[] )
{
....
        gwTerm *a = new gwTerm( "x( A, 2 )" );
....
        delete a;       // only on absence of exceptions
....
}
<<
Compilerflage etc. are the same for both fragments (in BC 5).
.... any ideas -- that I don't have?

     thank you,  gw
