Start downloading headers for a newsgroup and take a look at the console. You
will be overwhelmed with a lot of assertions:

###!!! ASSERTION: this shouldn't happen: 'PR_FALSE', file
../../../../../../mozilla/mailnews/db/msgdb/src/nsMsgDatabase.cpp, line 3878
Break: at file
../../../../../../mozilla/mailnews/db/msgdb/src/nsMsgDatabase.cpp, line 3878

Lxr tells following:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mailnews/db/msgdb/src/nsMsgDatabase.cpp#3878

3873   // if we can't find the thread, try using the msg key as the thread id,
3874   // because the msg hdr might not have the thread id set correctly
3875   if (!*result) 
3876   {
3877     nsMsgKey msgKey;
3878     NS_ASSERTION(PR_FALSE, "this shouldn't happen");
3879     msgHdr->GetMessageKey(&msgKey);
3880     *result = GetThreadForThreadId(msgKey);
3881   }

The assertion is no longer there these days.
