Oops.  I was wrong.  This fails on my G5 iMac, too.  I must have
sync-ed another branch.  Once I sync-ed the problematic branch, it
failed on my iMac, too.  And it now fails even if I try the 0.36
binary again.

I'm reporting this problem because the error message said "mtn: this
is almost certainly a bug in monotone."  Also, I'm worried that this
has corrupted my database in a way that is not recoverable.  Is there
any more information I can supply to help with debugging?

By the way, I'm not on <monotone-devel>, but I am monitoring it
through the archives:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
