OK, so I looked and looked and looked at the code, and I think I finally
figured it out now. Should be fixed in git, in 48496df.

Please test!

If I fixed the right bug then you should have encountered your problem
only if the journal files grow quite large.

Thanks for providing the stacktrace, much appreciated.
