Yes, opr_Verify is supposed to mean "assert, but if asserts are turned
off still run the code".

But if you just remove the assert here, you are not fixing the problem.
All directories are supposed to have a .. entry by this point; if you
mask the problem and never investigate what's going on here, we lose all
hope of identifying and fixing the actual bug.
