You can try this patch to see if it helps identify the problem:

That assertion looks like it is being triggered by calling a dereference on the list::end() object.


EDIT: The '%i' should probably be '%u' in that log message..but, any value greater than 65535 or less than 0 would indicate an issue.


EDIT2: This is a troubleshooting patch..playing in a zone where the log message is triggered may cause issues with clients being attacked by 'invisible' mobs.
