  I do not understand exactly how switching to assert would help you locate
the failure point. If you going to run it under debugger you as well could
just set a break point on failed assertion. If you going to analize the core
using debugger, why not run it under debugger in a first place. If you
expect to get a location from the assert output - it will be not better than
test tools one.
