Have you done this with vector also?  I would be surprised
if you have.  It seems to me there is a standards issue to 
be addressed in this area.  It is no problem to send the
data in a vector of int as a unit, but I don't know of a 
way to add/receive the data into a vector correctly.  It is 
possible to stuff the data into the correct place, but the
vector's internal state/size does not get set properly since 
you didn't call push_back or some other method to get the 
data into place.  Adding something like push_n_back to vector 
might help when it comes this.
