Meh.  That's because people insist on using iterators in the loop whilst 
writing into the collections in another thread. 

Thing is, the drawing code shouldn't give a crap if the collection 
changes mid loop.  That's why I originally used to use a for loop.  
Should have put a comment to that effect I suppose!

So, I think that changing the draw code to use for loops instead of 
iterators will be safe, so long as *after* any insertions, the inserting 
thread requests a redraw.

Best,

Tom.
