I'll assume you're using the STL that shipped with VC6.0...  Many STL 
implementations (STLPort) are quite well behaved in .DLLs...

Have you seen the patches available from the author at 
http://www.dinkumware.com/vc_fixes.html ?

It seems that they couldn't be incorporated into the VC6 service 
packs due to some legal issue, but the fix to <xtree> in particular 
deals with DLL issues and map, set, etc.

Hope this helps,
