IndexError: pop from empty list

Any ideas about what this might mean?

Running Debian Wheezy on a RaspBerry Pi and collecting data on a dispatch thread that is reading input on the serial port (connected to xbee series 1).

It happens every few days but it really chokes the program.

Thanks for any tips,
