Thanks to Michael Pyne and Scott Wheeler for their help. The problem was a
misunderstanding on my part of the erase function of a FrameList.
I had thought that "due to the nature of a list this operation can be done in
constant time, and only invalidates iterators/references to the element being
removed" meant that when my loop next looped through, the iterator would be
incremented and would thus be valid again. Turns out that you have to assign
the iterator to the return value of the erase function.
