You must provide more information (at least a C stack traceback). See
the section "What to do if I found a bug?" in the FAQ:

No.

The lifetime of id's is limited to one process. You will get new id's
whenever you load a map. This scheme allows to merge the same map
multiple times without getting naming conflicts.
