I'm using maps with gcc-3.0 and have had no problems. I'm curious as to why you are using 'hash.begin()' as a hint to insert the new value in the map? Perhaps there is a problem with the 'insert' method that takes a hint (this would be a bug of course). I would suggest trying the 'insert' method that does not take a hint parameter to see if that works.

}
