I don't see how the logic currently captured in the KASSERTs I've added 
could be easily captured in a single KASSERT at the top of the function. 
I also think KASSERTs are most usefully placed next to the code which is 
making the assumption you wish to sanity check.

Could you please give me a few pointers as to what you had in mind?

I didn't realise you'd gone on holidays and planned to deal with this on 
your return so I already started a dialogue with re@ and might as well 
follow it through now.
