[mapserver-dev] Mapserver assertion handling causing potential crashes

[Even Rouault]

Hopefully https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/6477 should fix that

to use or not to use assert(), and where, is one of the many debates for 
which devs will have different opinions : 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1081409/why-should-i-use-asserts . 
I'd say assert() are supposed to be used for conditions you don't 
anticipate to happen in practice and thus for which you don't have a 
plan if they occur (a good reason is because you can't test it and thus 
the error handling might be broken because untested). Of course practice 
sometimes/often later contradicts your theories, as the impossible has a 
trend to occur more often than you'd like :-)
