Hi,

Was the bug reported? I use STL port with v1.5 with no problems but
I will never be sure if your particular case is solved unless you give me 
more details. Simply stating that "debug iterators was somehow not supported"
is not very helpful. I'd have to see the actual compiler errors and the code
that exhibits the behavior.
