I have good news and bad news.  The bad news is that my test cases that 
showed memory leaks were missing a line to reset the allocation counts.  The 
good news is that with the addition of that line, they prove that std::vector 
does not leak memory, at least not in the copy constructor.

I figure it's easier if the original patch goes in as is and I can submit a 
further patch to fix the testcase afterwards.
