Both seem correct to me, both regarding the wording and the content,
so i don't see much point in changing it.  Besides, in v7, assert()
worked slightly differently than it does today.  It didn't call
abort() - which did already exist - but just fprintf() and exit().
So maybe "an" is even more precise than "the".

By the way, i just grepped v6 for "assert" and came up empty-handed.
Anybody knows whether the statement is even correct?  Didn't it
rather first appear in v7?

Yours,
  Ingo
