Hi all... I am having a problem with a templated class, holding a vector of
type T.

Basically, two problems:
1) When the class is destructed, the program crashes.
2) If, for some bizarre reason, a string with an extension (.dat) is
entered, then the program crashes on constructing the database.

What makes it even weirder is that #2 just popped up recently (not sure
about #1) previous versions worked fine?!

I am unsure of how much code I should post, so will post the symdumps, ctor
and dtor for now, and if I need to/should post more, please tell me :)

Thanks in advance for helping with what is probably a very stupid error :)

Christo

CODE/SYMDUMPS:

For problem number 1:

Three symifies, all with different results (normal? not normal?)

This one was after recompiling and a minor change to an unrelated function
