Can you give any more information that might help track this down?  What 
did you do right before this happened?  Can you find any way to 
reproduce it regularly (unlikely IMO)?

Are you using S2_0 or the development branch?

My first guess would have been a memory error overwriting the orders 
array.  But this is unlikely since such an error would overwrite the 
array with garbage which would not produce a usable goto (I think). 
Perhaps some assertions can be added to help catch this.
