This problem has been described to me by a fellow developer, and I cannot find
much insight online or in books.  Using the STL list, we wanted to substitute
our home-grown implementation of a linked list.  However, we were storing
(pointers or references to) objects in the linked list and we've run into a
problem with the code dumping core from the stl section.  Should I assume it
is the developer's responsibility to remove the object when objects and not
straight data are being stored in the list?  If so, would a reasonable
solution be to overload list's remove() to call the destructor on the object
being removed?

Any insight/input/advice is very welcome.

Thanks,
