Thanks for the quick reply Steven. Your explanation makes perfect
sense - however it also presents a problem: how do I deallocate
memory now? As far as I can tell the STL that ships with MSVC has
the map's internal _Node datatype protected. So aside from guessing
the correct size of it - how can I tell what the proper singleton
pool is?

cheers,
