The third argument should be osi, not isi: isi is an input iterator.

Someone here pointed out to me that this is not an efficient way of doing this as the bind is called once for each item in the sellection.

That way I can avoid the current problem of not having a contiguous block of memory large enough to hold my object.

For example, can I keep appending to a map object if it's memory exceeds the largest contiguous memory block on my machine?

Yep because each node is allocated individually.

...thats a lot of items. Have you looked into memory mapped files?

2) Another problem is the matter of efficiency.
