when you do a delete, it doesn't seem to delete the pointer, but the memory
at the address that the pointer is storing.  I could be wrong, but that
is the basis of the double delete.
...

I see.  Your right.  is b.ptr is wiped to null, a.ptr is still pointing to 
a dellocated part of the heap.  But if the pointers are passed by reference,
a.ptr and b.ptr are actually the same pointer inside a single object.
