I ran into this today, so I decided to look into it.  It
looks to me like the problem only happens if you profile
with lineevents enabled.  In that case, hotshot uses the
tracer_callback function (in _hotshot.c) to dispatch trace
events.  This function explicitly ignores exception returns
(PyTrace_EXCEPTION), which can lead to an unbalanced stack
of calls/returns when the log is loaded (if an profiled
function exits with an exception).

It seems on the surface that tracer_callback ought to handle
exceptions the same way as normal returns.  This would be
consistent with what happens when profiler_callback is used,
since PyEval_EvalFrame dispatches sends a Py_RETURN to
c_profilefunc when exiting because of an exception.

Could this be related to 1019882?

Hmm, the file was too big, even though it was compressed.
I've uploaded it to
http://home.student.uva.nl/johannes.gijsbers/roundup.prof.bz2
now.

While the original report isn't very useful, I've ran into
this problem multiple times as well. I can reproduce it
using the attached profile file (compressed because of the
large size) and the following console session:

Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jul  5 2004, 09:15:05)
[GCC 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import hotshot.stats
>>> stats = hotshot.stats.load('roundup.prof')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/hotshot/stats.py", line 12, in load
    return StatsLoader(filename).load()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/hotshot/stats.py", line 51, in load
    assert not self._stack
AssertionError
>>>

I'm not sure who's baby hotshot really is, so I'm leaving
this unassigned.
