Is this pointing to a deeper problem, or is the assertion incorrect?

I expect that there's an incorrect assertion that was fine until one of the recent grammar changes; the augmented assignment patch is highly suspect given that it's the most recent. Look for problems handling expr_stmt nodes.

Does the Linux community ever run with Py_DEBUG defined? I couldn't even find a simple way to turn it on to confirm it also exists on Linux...

I don't think I've ever used it, either on Linux or any other Unix. We should definately have an easy way to turn it on! Probably at configure time would be good.
