You've been hunting around trying to figure out how this function was
recently changed to cause this problem.  I think you're looking up the
wrong tree - have you tried an earlier version?  This message has been
around for as long as I can remember (which isn't to say that it
shouldn't be fixed).  The pending_bp and not_found_ptr stuff is much
more recent and for a different situation.
