I figured it out. We have the same thing for reset (a GPIO line can
reset the cores) and apparently resting the same core twice in a row
was causing the assert(). Resting the core twice was a bug, so I have
fixed that and I don't see the assert() any more. I'm still not sure
why that assert() was being hit after a reset and halt/un-halt though.

Thanks for your help Peter.
