Yes. In general "all iterators are invalidated
by insertion or deletion". However, it depends
on the container. 

For example, for a list,
the ONLY operation that can stuff things up
is deleting an element to which another
iterator points. (Make sure you don't cache
list.end())

For a vector, if you say "reserve(enough_space)"
you can do whatever would work for an array of
enough_space elements.
