#489: InternalWarning causing most shutdowns

 At the moment, most of the shutdowns I'm seeing are resulting from the
 InternalWarnings function.  Particularly when it's called here in Val.cc:

 {{{
 ListVal* TableVal::ConvertToPureList() const
         {
         type_list* tl = table_type->Indices()->Types();
         if ( tl->length() != 1 )
                 InternalWarning("bad index type in
 TableVal::ConvertToPureList");

         return ConvertToList((*tl)[0]->Tag());
         }
 }}}

 Perhaps we should audit all of the places where it's being called be make
 sure if Bro really needs to shutdown.  I get the sense in this case at
 least that the problem could be handled differently.
