No - the number of pointers in the vector. I can have 80 enemies onscreen
and eventually crash, 20 bullets crashes in about 10 seconds, 5 of each runs
forever......

No, no memory leaks or anything. I delete the pointed-to data one like
before deleting the pointer itself from the vector. It's only when there's
lots of objects is there a problem. And I still don't like that dj_movedata
error; that seems to be telling me something......
