You're trying to cast a pointer to member to a pointer to object
type. That can't be done according to the standards
documentation I've read over C++ (Annotated C++ Ref. Man. by
Ellis & Stroustrup). 
Pointer to members may even not be explicitly converted to void*!

The reason for this is that pointers to members may be
a structure containing both addresses and offsets. There is
no point in allowing a cast to any ordinary pointer.
