may be some logging will help to debug this series of index errors? currently 
only
stack is available, but it seems to me that it's not enough.

Try r61, seems you're suffering from issue #13.

r61 does not solves issue, output is same as in this issue description

I meant r61 + subject.patch

r61 fixed issue with deleted comments but it did not fix issue with comments 
without
subject. The subject.patch fixes handling of comments without subject.

I doubt that there are non-deleted comments without subject and body.

Hi.

I've just committed mathemonkey's subject patch.  It's r62.  Please give it a 
try and
let me know that you've verified this as a fix for your problem Kostya.

Thanks again to you both for helping out.
