This sounds like it might be two issues:
I checked in fixes tonight for the underlying problem behind the assert
(from your description, it looks an awful lot like bug #48):
http://www.abisource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48
I'm not sure if the fix (to abi/src/wp/fmt/fv_View.cpp) made the overnight
anonymous CVS drop. If not, search bonsai for the fix:

Does it actually *die* here? It shouldn't oughta do that. The assert macro
should let you say Y and keep going.
