actually I thought i tracked it down, was wrong. Anyway once the 
RuleBase is built the "ObjectHashMap objectTypeNodes" in Rete should not 
change....Only I things I can think of are:
1) Some how a thread is seeing a stale version of the map
2) the rulebase is getting updated while propagation is happening, maybe 
combine with an issue from 1. In reality the rulebase addition should 
obey the standard locking mechanism and stop this from happening.
3) The initial RuleBase hasn't finished building yet, and threads are 
already being spun off to assert data.

I have a feeling its 3...
