I have a linked list class that stores a list of strings.  I have an insert
function that takes a string argument and inserts that string in into the
list.  My insert function works properly until I attempt to read a file
using:

getline(myfile, mystring)
mylist.insert(mystring)

This generates a segmentation fault:

string mystring = "Hello";
mylist.insert(mystring);

This works fine.  So does this:

mystring = "Hello, my name is Jeff";
list.insert(mysting);
Insert will also work if I read a file without getline() so I'm assuming the
problem is with getline().

Can anyone tell me what's special about a
string returned with getline()?
