Ok, I didn't know that there could be null elements in the map.

Do you have to do something to load modules? When my program initializes, I do
this

swordLibrary = new sword::SWMgr(new sword::MarkupFilterMgr(sword::FMT_PLAIN));
and then pass a pointer to that around my various classes.

In this particular function,  the iterator is this,

sword::ModMap::iterator libraryIterator;

I had thought I was following one of the examples.
