So there is a bug in my source code! Well, I'm not surprised.

I'm trying to report the code in icedtea here, extracting it from the patch=
 so=20
I hope it's accurate enough:

    std::map<void*,NPP>::iterator iterator;=20
    for (iterator =3D instance_map->begin(); iterator !=3D instance_map->en=
d();=20
iterator++)
    {
      if ((*iterator).second =3D=3D instance)
        {
           instance_map->erase((*iterator).first);
        }
     }

So, do you think, like Ed Schouten said, that there is a bug in the source=
=20
code but it's just exposed on CURRENT?
Is that code bad too?

Thanks
Barbara
