right.  but it wasn't, and that's what surprised me.  if it *had* been
re-used, i would have expected to see 1 2 3 4 5 ... and so on.  but
having just 1, then that constant number -- very strange!

weird, i am getting the same address each time.  something is
overwriting it with a consistent value each time through the loop.
actually, even in the first block (that's not a loop).  

i wonder what's doing it?

and it does seem to do something more than just "put it on a free
list", which is what i thought; if i try to do "*pi = 0" after the
delete, i get a SEGV (even though pi itself has the same value as
before the delete.)

oh well.  confused, and too hungry to step through libstdc++ and glibc
to figure out what's going on.
