Jeffrey,

you are right, changing the container from listS to vecS  makes the 
problem disappear.
I am not sure why the graphviz code was changed like that ( I forwarded 
my mail to
Jeremy directly and may be he finds time to answer).
Before I switched to listS I used to use vecS and there the descriptor 
is a normal
integer (the index into the vector) so I think the dot file wouldn't 
look much different
for a vecS - vertex_descriptor vs.  vertexIndex.
With listS vertex_descriptor is a hex address (that of the list element) 
like 0x83b3e78.
When you print that into the dot file there is a problem because the
dot facility cannot parse  hex addresses (0x...) and so  I had to filter 
the dot file to make
0x83b3e78 into something else, like HEX83b3e78.

This may have prompted the change to begin with but unfortunately it 
doesn't work
because it seems vertex_index  doesn't exist for listS or I missing 
something that makes
sure it does exist.
