This need not be the most recent version, late March...
The "abort();" seems like a bug catching command, it occurred while I
was creating a Venti snapshot (following the wiki instructions). The
error message that preceeded it was:
cacheLocalData: addr=0 type got 0 exp 0: tag got 4c0fe2a2 exp 22f90fe3
this on a pretty underpowered Pentium 100MHz (/dev/cputype == P54C 101)
with 32Meg of RAM, but a fair amount of swap:
1975/4600 memory 4492/19600 swap
My first attempt at getting fossil working, is there anything else I
ought to supply? I can leave the machine untouched, if so desired,
for as long as it takes to debug.

Upgrade your fossil to the latest sources and binaries
and then try again. I'm not too interested in tracking down
whether this is a fixed bug or not. It looks like the block
got freed and reused prematurely. It's likely to be a
fixed bug.

Thinking that my message had been lost, I tried again, and the problem
did not recur. I did, however, restart Venti and Fossil both,
reformat the arenas and indeces, etc. In particular, I had a vacfs
running, which could, I imagine, caused the inconsistency. After the
restart, it wasn't there to interfere.
Your point about staying up to date is also valid. It's a little hard
for me, but that's my problem.

Vacfs is read-only. It wouldn't have caused any problems.
