loadSlice() spurious crash

I get a spurious error when loading slice files in python with loadSlice and --all.

Sometimes it works fine by just running again.

The program crashes with this stack:

    Hi John,

    We only provide support here on the forum for the most recent version of Ice. Have you tried using Ice 3.4.1 to see if the problem still occurs?

    Regards,
    Mark

    Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury to use a new version without a planned upgrade of all build and deployment environments and a full regression testing cycle.

    I was kind of hoping someone would recognize the issue and recommend a workaround. FWIW, running slice2py from the command line also crashes with the same error if you specify a really long set of command line arguments.
