Comment:

 OK I think I've fixed this.

 Should we merge the change to 7.8 branch?  Perhaps not unless it actually
 bites someone.  The trouble it that "bite" has only shown up so far as an
 ASSERT failure, and I'm not 100% sure that it won't have some other bad
 consequence if the assert is omitted and we proceed regardless.  But
 nothing has so far.

 So I'll close for now.

 Simon
