I agree. It should be an error not an assertion.

The relevant code is:

    if (DBIc_TRACE_LEVEL(imp_sth) >= 10)
        PerlIO_printf(DBILOGFP,"       FETCH $h->{%s} from $h->{NAME} with $h->{NUM_OF_FIELDS} = %d"
                                " and %ld entries in $h->{NAME}\n",
                neatsvpv(keysv,0), i, AvFILL(name_av)+1);
    assert((i == -1 && 0 == AvFILL(name_av)+1) || (i == AvFILL(name_av)+1));

Please enable trace level 10 and reply with the output of that log
message just before the assertion failed.

Thanks.

Tim.
