That error indicates the same kind of problem as the assertion above.  It
suggests that one of the translators (fakeroot or fakeauth) loused up an
RPC.  It would be helpful to know which one for sure.  It looks like it
could be io_stat or one of the ones involved in name lookup (which is
especially likely if reauths get done).  Can you either enable core-dumping
(if that's working) or crash-suspend and use gdb to see the backtrace for
the assertion?
