Playing the campaign, I occasionally get a crash during missions from this assertion failure:
ufo: src/common/dbuffer.c:506: dbuffer_extract: Assertion `buf->len == 0' failed.
It seems to happen during the aliens' turn, but I'm not sure if that's always the case.
This is the stack trace:

I poked around a bit in the debugger, and it seems like it's caused by a malformed dbuffer:
buf->len is 14, but buf->head->len is 0, and buf->head->next is NULL. I'm not familiar with the UFO code, but based on the struct definition and the code of dbuffer_extract, that looks wrong.
The crash only happens once every hour or so.
