  Incident Diagnosis
  When looking for loop in ancestry, the ancestry
  was taken and stored in cache using a recursive
  method. So when loop was involved the ancestry
  was deleted in the due course but the pointer to the
  cache was still there. This resulted in crash when
  any operation was done on the cache
  .
  Correction Explanation
  Instead of freeing the memory all the members of
  the cache are made NULL
  .
  Answer and By-Pass
  None
  .
  

Temporary fix
