This is because iterators may well be not plain pointers. Newer gcc's
use __normal_iterator<> instead of plain pointers for the standard
containers. If you look in
/usr/include/c++/3.2.3/bits/stl_iterator.h:565
// This iterator adapter is 'normal' in the sense that it does not
// change the semantics of any of the operators of its iterator
// parameter. Its primary purpose is to convert an iterator that is
// not a class, e.g. a pointer, into an iterator that is a class.
// The _Container parameter exists solely so that different
containers
// using this template can instantiate different types, even if the
// _Iterator parameter is the same.
...
template<typename _Iterator, typename _Container>
class __normal_iterator
...

This may fix the error, but I haven't perused you code well enough:
dummy1 = &*found;
