Error: assertion (locatorPage->section == sectionId || locatorPage->section == 0) failed at line 1295 in file Section.cpp

Seen in Random Query Generator test falcon_limit in "Pushbuild 2", on Solaris 10 SPARC (32-bit).

# 16:12:33 This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
# 16:12:33 or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
# 16:12:33 or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
# 16:12:33 We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
# 16:12:33 the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
# 16:12:33 and this may fail.
