Geoff,

This looks like something that should be "impossible". It's almost certainly 
memory corruption somewhere - and so the bug is probably somewhere else 
entirely, nowhere near this code. 

Do you have any way to reproduce this on demand? Or is it just something that 
happens apparently randomly?

Upgrading to 2.0.2 is a good idea - I can't guarantee it'll help, but it's 
definately worth a try.

If it doesn't help, any more information on how to reproduce this would be 
really helpful. If running it under valgrind is possible (i.e. you're running 
linux on x86, and you have some cpu to spare), that might be worthwhile too.
