Removing from std::list while iterating

I have the following code:

bool resetTypeBit = true;
for (auto it = eventsList.begin(); it != eventsList.end(); ++it) {
    CreatureEvent* curEvent = *it;
    if (curEvent == event) {
        it = eventsList.erase(it);
    } else if (curEvent->getEventType() == type) {
        resetTypeBit = false;
    }
}

So I have the following scenario: eventList contains 01 item, and then, as soon as the for statement goes through for the first time and meet the it = eventsList.erase(it); line, the it variable becomes invalid, causing a segmentation fault on the next iteration of the for statement.

Any clues of what could be causing the problem?
