Though I won't disagree with your general observation concerning an 
INN rpm I will mention and clarify that this rpm has been running 
very stable for the past 3 years without any problems.  When the rpm 
was first installed 3 years ago, it was tested for some time before 
going live with it.

It has proven very stable and dependable.  The "assertion" bug is not 
an rpm specific bug but a bug at the source level.  As I mentioned 
above, I don't disagree with your observations.  This brings me to 
the more curious question.  What is the best way to update an INN rpm 
using a tar source?
