The error is a bug in Conglomerate; both the dispspecs and documents can
be valid and still cause this problem.

Somewhat fiddly; run Conglomerate under gdb, when it crashes go up the
callstack and find the node causing the problems.  Easier said than done
- so I'll look into providing a better error message that tells you what

The xds file you attached works fine for me using CVS Conglomerate so
it's either a recently fixed bug or you sent me the wrong file!
