I can't judge here, but IMHO asserts are often used as a sort of lazy, quick and dirty way to (not...) deal with situations that rarely occur. And then you forget about them, until someone does run into the situation with a release build which starts crashing in a seemingly unrelated location...

I don't think so either, but I can't say I have *never* seen DrKonqi crash. 

Oh well, sorry for the noise...
