Thank you for the response, I think I was confused by the fact that the 
std::list in question was on the stack and I had thought (erroneously) 
that any memory pointed to from there (even if it were allocated by 
malloc() and not libgc) would be traced by libgc.  But instead it must 
be the case that any memory not allocated by libgc and not on the stack 
or in the bss or any other static data segment is not traced through by 
libgc when looking for pointers.

Thank you again,
Bryan
