  I expect that there's an incorrect assertion that was fine until one

highly suspect given that it's the most recent.  Look for problems
handling expr_stmt nodes.

  I don't think I've ever used it, either on Linux or any other Unix.
We should definately have an easy way to turn it on!  Probably at
configure time would be good.
