Patch #1517947 suggests adding an assert for these.
Is that acceptable or just considered a drop in ocean?
I think it's pointless. If they ever be NULL, the INCRE/DECREF will crash right away, anyway, so you'll certainly notice. As you will have a debug build when the assertion triggers, you can just as well fine the location of the crash quickly in the debugger (e.g. using the core file on systems that support that, or the JIT-debugger on other systems).
Regards, Martin
