Hey Brett,

My (relatively uninformed) guess is that the inheritance/call-back issue
is a red herring -- I think the agent is getting garbage-collected
before you call 'do_something' on it.  I reckon you should just replace

  .def("add_agent", &engine::add_agent)

with

  .def("add_agent", &engine::add_agent, with_custodian_and_ward<1, 2>())

so that the lifetime of the agent object is linked to that of the
engine.  I could be wrong, of course (has been known to happen)...


Hope that helps,
Tim
