Thanks for the report!  If you run the command again, do you have the
same problem? I was suspecting a possible bug in the file
reconstruction logic that got rewritten for 0.30, but I just wrote
~2000 random test cases for that and it seems fine... and when I try
reproducing this by running the same command with the 0.30 release,
that works for me too.

It's _possible_ that it's, say, a hardware issue with your machine --
if your memory decided to flip a bit at the wrong time, you could get
that error.  But it might be a bit early to assume that.

Did you run the testsuite on your build?  Did it pass?  ("make check"
in your build directory.)
