thanks

I'm pretty sure this bug is simply due to misuse of auto_ptr in writer.cc
(causing old auto_ptr's not to be freed properly or similar which then
causes breakage after a few have built up). This is probably my fault;
the fix is just:

-      OverItem = auto_ptr<Override::Item>(new Override::Item);
+      OverItem.reset(new Override::Item);
       OverItem->FieldOverride["Section"] = Tags.FindS("Section");
       OverItem->Priority = Tags.FindS("Priority");
    }

Cheers,
