Ok thanks. So can you instrument the tdb/tdb.c:tdb_expand()
code with enough debug level zero info that we can figure 
out what's going wrong here ?

Currently we can't reproduce the problem on systems we have
access to, so we need to rely on people reporting the problem
to give enough debug info to allow us to fix it.

Thanks,
