I don't think your initialization method causes the problem. You are
doing something illegal elsewhere, like using an iterator after it has
been invalidated (e.g. by modifying the underlying container).

STL shipped with VC8 catches such errors in debug build. VC7.1 does not
have this debugging mode, and you could get away with some violations.
The code is still buggy even if it appears to work, of course.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
