Hey everyone, I'm in desperate need of some help here.  I'm working on a
webcrawler for a computer science class and I'm using boost::regex to parse
some of the html elements.  After calling a few boost::regex functions, I
get this error.  It doesn't seem to be tied to any specific funcion, but it
seeems to come up after a certain number of calls to the functions.  Here is
the exact error:

test: /usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:315: T*
boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T =
boost::regex_token_iterator_implementation<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const
char*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>
> >, char, boost::regex_traits<char, boost::cpp_regex_traits<char> > >]:
Assertion `px != 0' failed.

and the backtrace:
#0  0x00110416 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0x005424c0 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2  0x00543e88 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6

I have attached my code, so that you can see what functions I'm using and in
what context, etc.  I really appreciate all your help.

Thanks,
