Assertions in arlad-0.26

[mike@avanticorp.com]

Hi fellow arla-drinkers,

I'm fairly new to arla, as of May (arla-0.24), when a co-worker moved
on to another company.  Now, I'm considered as our resident linux expert 
(by default I think).

I'm currently using arla-0.26 on a Redhat-5.2/linux-2.2.9 system.

I just transitioned our product compiles completely onto AFS and am 
coming across some assert() problems in arlad.  Not knowing exactly 
where to start debugging, I started arlad in the foreground then ran
the tests/ scripts and came across the following assert():

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What should I do next?

Thanks for your help,
