    Hi Henning.

    An assert is an emergency stop. I think that most asserts can
    be removed without any problems (if not we would have several
    known problems).

    I think we should do this:
    1) remove assert() where it is not necessary
    2) replace an assert(a<b) by
    if (a<b) {DBG(0, "error..."); + exit or return with error code}

    Bye
