I don't quite know what the problem is.  What version did you upgrade 
from?

The only thing that comes to mind is that -- given the above backtrace 
-- perhaps you used such different ./configure options that the 
overview files aren't compatible somehow?  If your spool is not too 
large, you could try rebuilding overview with `makehistory -Ox`.
