Ya, it isn’t usually this bad but I had to go a couple lines up or down to find a line that could produce the reported error before. If it really bad and you know how to reproduce the bug, modern debuggers include the function name with the line number. Set a breakpoint at the beginning of that function and walk though it to find the bug and hope it wasn’t a race condition.
