See PRB: Q172396.  It's a real problem, but only with certain 
containers and vector, list and string, AFAIK, aren't prone to this 
problem.  As someone else pointed out, there are patches (if you can 
apply them... we couldn't) and it is an issue related only to the STL 
shipped with VC5/6.  If you can't apply the patches you can purchase 
the update from Dinkumware, switch to STLPort, or even switch to VC7.
