What this is showing us is that any form of corruption in the relmapper
file causes very unpleasant behavior. We probably had better do something
about that, independently of this issue.
In the meantime, I still think bumping the file magic number is a better
answer. It won't make the behavior any worse for un-updated code than
it is already.
