If the new assertion fires, then I'm not reading the rpmds iteration

If the old assertion fires, then there's a wild pointer somewhere.

Thanks.

Old assertion == wild pointer (or other malloc issue).

That's what I needed to know.

FWIW, this patch likely avoids the free that is almost certainly the primary
cause of the segfault:

I've been trying to understand the secondary cause that is snarled
up with walking interlocked dependency loops and displaying the
relations involved, but I will likely need to look at that first hand by
installing MDV 2008.1, todo++.

Thanks for the help.
