As with the past couple of releases, this is a bugfix/performance 
improvement release.

Version 1.6.6, 17 February 2007

I have a custom-made container for my linked lists, and this container 
had a member which kept track of the number of items in the list. When 
an item was removed from the list, the remove function had only a 
pointer to the object, and not to the container; the dummy head of the 
list is also the first member of the container, so I could find the 
container by tracing back from the object to the start of the list, 
re-cast the pointer, and then access the population member. This is not 
terribly sound coding practice, was probably hurting performance, and 
may have been the cause of a crash that sometimes happened at program 
exit. I was able to eliminate all access to the population member, and 
therefore remove it, and therefore eliminate the list trace.
