Please note that 2.19.x is the *unstable* branch, currently in
development.

Ugh. This is a really strange issue, being reported occasionally.
Unfortunately, so far the users have never been able to reliably
reproduce the issue, or just vanished after reporting it. We can not
reproduce it ourself, thus debugging is pretty much limited...

Also, this actually never should happen anyway.


Luis, if you can reproduce this, we'd be happy to debug it with your
help. For starters, we need some very detailed description, what you did
*exactly* that results in this error. We'll most likely ask for further
details and running specially crafted commands later, to finally nail
this nasty issue, that seems to hit users randomly every couple of
weeks...

So, please help us tracking down this issue. :)  Thanks.
