What version of gEDA are you using?

If it is the git HEAD version (that still reports as 1.5.0), please
update in case you have the version which caused breakage with
multi-line text. (That is unlikely, as it was just a couple of commits
which were affected).

More likely, your text-line count on the "T ... N" (where N is the
line-count), doesn't match up with the number of lines of text following
it.

I'd probably consider it a bug that this is a g_assert() failure rather
than something handled more gracefully, so once you've got the cause
identified, if you could produce a small test-case schematic and file a
bug, that would be appreciated.

Best wishes,
