Hi,  

I never played with ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH, but I did copy some code from 
itkObjectFactoryBase some time ago into my own software and got exactly the 
same problem. 

As it turned out, the line 

Directory* dir = Directory::New();

in itkObjectFactoryBase::LoadLibrariesInPath(const char*) should use a smart 
pointer instead, i.e.

Directory::Pointer dir = Directory::New();

Hope this helps,

- Koen
