Yes, usually
'The instruction at "0xblahblah" referenced memory at
 "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written"'.

Hmmm, yes. In fact, I estimated the memory requirement after the
execution failed before I posted. Since my NT box has 384MB of
memory, I didn't think the program ran out of memory. Now your
message reminds me to check the Windows NT task manager. Sadly,
the program does run out of memory.

Perhaps. However, although VC++'s is unable to allocate a big
(...2MB?!) chunk of memory:

int main() {double array[512][512];} // fails to allocate 2MB

it should be able to allocate a large number of small chunks of
memory. This confuses me, as I think BGL's adjacency_list is
really implemented using an adjacency list, which is made up of
many (comparatively shorter) edge lists and a vertex list.
