[Boost-users] Graphviz and Boost Problem

Hello I am using the dot language to create a graph using Boost. My Graphs are huge and I am trying to delete* vertices *and edges that are no longer used in my program. Under boost/graph/graphviz.hpp I added a function to remove a vertex and its edges in the mutate_graph class, I then go ahead and implement it under the mutate_graph_impl class: virtual void do_remove_vertex( const node_t& node) { bgl_vertex_t v = bgl_nodes[node]; clear_vertex(v,graph_); remove_vertex(v,graph_); } However I keep getting a segfault on the call to clear vertex, I ran it into gdb and here is the back trace (i hope this is not to long) Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x000000000040b87f in std::_List_base >, std::allocator > >

In my main program my graph is declared like this: adjacency_list, property > Graph; and go ahead and initiate graphviz like this: read_graphviz(in, g, dp, "id"); Am I breaking some pretty obvious rules? As I am pretty lost. Any advice/suggestions and comments is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
