Yes, there must be at least one bd::Header. Or at least the code thinks
there is one.
Things to consider:
- Do you use the "hard-core" memory management methods of RepeatedPtrField,
like AddAllocated()? If so, investigate these calls to make sure that the
pointers are valid and the ownership transfer is being respected.
- Is it possible that your code tried to delete a sub-object of a message
(e.g. a bd::Header that was embedded in a bd::Request) without first
obtaining ownership?

In gdb you have to put single-quotes around scoped C++ names, e.g.:
p *('bd::Main' *)pb_pip_thread_data->bd_pb_data_msg.main_msg_hnd
I don't know why gdb requires this.
