Ah, I didn't look into the code, just into the mail. The problem stems from 
the fact that in examples there's mostly
if (this == &old)
  return *this;

... assign ...

return *this;

For most simple assignment operators

if (this != &old)
{
  ... assign...
}

return *this;

is the better solution IMHO. Implementing what's offered in an expert book 
unchanged doesn't need to be the best solution... ;-)
