That won't cause a segmentation fault.  However, I notice that you are
using "malloc" and "free" to allocate and free your objects.  "stl" will
use "new" and "delete", and it's not always healthy to mix them.  If I were
you, I'd replace this:

>  Vertex *v;
>  v = (Vertex *)malloc(sizeof(Vertex));

with this, which is less typing:
   Vertex * x = new Vertex;
