If causes an assert failure on a DEBUG kernel, a shutdown on a
non-debug kernel. Either way, I'd prefer to leave it enabled as a
good reminder that we need to fix the damn bug (*) sooner rather
than later...

(*) This patch prevents the assert failure, but, like Lachlan, I'm
not sure it is the right fix.

I'm working on it at the moment, along with all the other allocation
things...

Cheers,

Dave.
