Yes, Buster, I agree to an extent. Actually, I said, in my first post which
has gotten lost in the morass - better morass than nothing at all though -
that I am certain it has something to do with the way pointers are being
compared. I'm not comparing the pointed to counted pointers, by the way, but
the actual objects pointed to by the pointed to counted pointers. :o)

Anyway, never mind - I've resigned myself to redefining the classes (using
the auto_ptr or whatever other thingie you described) and defining my own
iterator class from scratch instead of inheriting from the typename
MathematicalSet::Set::(const_)iterator as I had previously. That way I
should be able to ensure that end() and begin() behave as I want them to.

And as to the nasty smell - nahhhh you were the first and the post was up
for a day b4 I got anything. Afterward...I suspect the locals were simply
enjoying the repartee and expecting fisticuffs.

best regards,
L.
