The constructor takes a baseGenerator by value, which is then destroyed when the constructor returns.
Believe it or not, I thought about that when I wrote it, and was amazed that it worked. I promptly forgot about it, and then was severely confused later when I compiled in debug mode, which for me includes turning off optimizations. So, is it just pure luck that it works fine in so many cases? I find it hard to believe that the optimizations would have eliminated enough stack activity so that it worked reliably.
