The real answer is to figure out how it gets into that state.  Is the 
input file invalid?  Or you have a device that sometimes skips one?

But if you're stuck with the data in that list:

If the list is of odd size, truncate it.  Then your loop should not run 
into an uneven pair.

Of course if you actually posted the code, or even the real and complete 
error message, we might be able to make other suggestions.
