Assertion errors? Error: 3624, Severity: 20, State: 1

I've had a sudden rush of about 22 assertion errors come out in the SQL
Server log, that stopped the active replication dead in it's tracks. Most of
the other clients and processes seemed unaffected but I can't understand the
source of some of these errors...
- This first one has been identified under kb 828337 BUT that doesn't help
me drill down to the source of the problem! It occurred the most - about 19
times in 4 minutes.
SQL Server Assertion: File: <p:\sql\ntdbms\storeng\drs\include\record.inl>,
line=1447
Failed Assertion = 'm_SizeRec > 0 && m_SizeRec <= MAXDATAROW'.
- This next one is mentioned in kb 324630 BUT I was not running DBCC
INDEXDEFRAG as suggested and the SQL Server is SP 3.
Location: page.cpp:1668
Expression: pageFull == 0
SPID: 6
Process ID: 2228
- This one seems more interesting since I cannot find any suitable
information about it on-line
Location: page.cpp:2610
Expression: spaceNeeded <= spaceContig && spaceNeeded <= space_usable
SPID: 6
Process ID: 2228
Any help to track down potential causes and or silent problems resulting
from this would be most appreciated - I am unwilling to run DBCC CHECKDB on a
database of this size (~100GB). The server has 13GB free disk space as well
so I can't see it being a problem related to anything so simple!
This really looks like a bug. Open a support incident with MS on this one.
