This works for me just fine in the latest CVS. Furthermore, in the
latest CVS, that assert is on line 3071 in proto.c. Do you have an old
version of proto.c checked out? And perhaps an old version of other
files?  Bring up the core file in the debugger, and print hfinfo->abbrev
to see the field that is provoking the assert.
