An assertion is a failure of an internal test. Something happened that
actually never should happen.

I have seen exactly this assertion with early versions of prngd, when I
was (incorrectly) calling RAND_add() from a signal handler, while another
RAND_add() might be active.

Unfortunately that does not explain your error, yet...
