I committed a sin on this one and worked around it and didn't record the specifics :( I'll be better next time.
But what I wanted to point out (not very constructively - sorry) was that it would be nice if debug.assertTrue printed out what it tried to assert as a message, to the console, so that one could diagnose a little without having to find the line in the source code.
I've been hitting a number of these. Often they happen at odd times, with very little to go on to even start debugging - say when compiling a function. There isn't a stack trace that's informative, I don't know what abcl was doing, and the report doesn't give me enough information to start.
A lot of the time I'll spend the effort to try to track it down, but I'd certainly appreciate it if some of the developers could think a bit about how to improve the situation wrt debugging such.
Regards, Alan

What does one do with this:

Provide a test case please? But you knew that…
No recent work should have impacted this section of the code from what I can make of it, so we need to know how this code is failing to fix it.
