State-Changed-Why:
    Just adding this bit.
    
    Without a test case, this bug report is so sufficiently vague as to be eligible for suspension.
    
    As an aid to you, I've provided a sample test case. It doesn't core. However, without the required copy constructor (vector requires all contained types to be both copyconstrible and assignable) you'll get a core. Perhaps this is what you are seeing?
