An assertion of that sort will have been put into the code on purpose
to catch a particular case which cannot or must not happen. It usually
only exists in the source code for cases that are going to be fatal or
very hard to recover from.

I am travelling for the next few days, but unless someone else can
identify the issue before I get back I'll go take a look at headers.cc
line 264 and see what the intent of that code is :)
