I encountered this when working with CentOS 6 (i.e. somewhat 
outdated). I just commented those asserts out to keep going and 
forgot about it then.

I think I read something (bugzilla issue, source comment, ...) 
that hinted at libc having to do with it, but I can't find it 
now. But CentOS 6's libc is indeed behind that of my usual Ubuntu 
14.10 (2.12 vs 2.19).
