So, once you have mutex-guarded your code, the problem does not show? Please confirm. The invariant test fails (asserts) on a call to 'insert()' regardless of my mutex gaurds. I have even gone as far as to wrap 'read' methods such as calls to 'size()' and 'empty()' with mutexes.

Other than that, you'll have to guard your code with mutexes like you say you're doing now. Yes, I understand this, but it seems that the invariant assertion is happening and it may not (?) necessarily be related to a threading issue. According to my backtrace, it appears that I do not have a thread contention issue. There is only one thread that is performing a call to any of the container methods (the other threads are waiting on a mutex release), and that call is 'insert()', and it is causing the aforementioned invariant assert.

The invariant assert does not happen during every test run, but it does happen frequently. What are the kinds of things that could cause the invariant assert? The documentation doesn't go into any great detail in this area.

Hope this helps. Best regards, Any help is most welcome; thanks!
