You're right, the first should be ASSERT(pHash->iFiles[WHITE][j] > 0).

If there is, it is a mystery to me. At the point of the crash there is nothing
on the stack that looks remotely like the address of pHash. I've also stepped
the compiler when it is setting pHash for the first time and the address is
never written out to the stack. That said, it's probably my mistake somewhere.
But damned if I can find it...
