This is because you shouldn't call virtual functions from
constructors, unless you know what you're doing. :)

Try using exceptions, or two-phase initialization.  And read a C++ FAQ
for more info, i.e.:

There's lots more in there, also explaining your other questions. But
this is quite offtopic for this list...
