I dunno, it just appeared
If I find out how to reproduce it, I'll let you know.
Anyway, to be a bit closer to this bug, it would be good to know what this error says. I don't know what does this error say at all. If you translate it to a "human language", perhaps I would be able to remember at something (maybe unusual) what I've done, or maybe find a way how to reproduce it.

Yeah, you're right, it looks like to be the same thing. Only difference is the SVN rev. number.

The error says "an internal variable has a corrupted value". There is no way for a player to interpret that.
In general, whenever you see 'Assertion ... failed' in the log of a CTD, it means "something went terribly wrong". There's nothing you can do, just report it along with the circumstances.

Usually it's not really helpful to re-report a known bug just to say 'it's still there in revxxx'. However, after fixing a central bug, devs will ask the community to recheck all bugs of a certain category. In those cases you're more than welcome to re-report them.

well, ok.

my point was not to make a re-report. i simply forgot that i already reported this bug. in this case, my apology for a "duplicate".

No problem

Keep an eye on this problem, and if you notice a pattern, report it in the other thread.
