I'm using Emacs on X on Debian 6 Stable. emacs-version says GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0) of 2010-12-11 on raven, modified by Debian.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
emacs -Q
C-x b foo ret
C-x 2
C-x r w a
C-x 1
C-x k ret
C-x r j a
Notice that in the bottom window, you get a buffer named "*Minibuf-1*". Press M-x and type something; notice that your text appears both in the minibuffer and in the bottom window. Surely this is a bug. 

Previously I managed to get it to give an error message "exit-minibuffer: No catch for tag: exit, nil", but I don't remember how, and my notes say that this had something to do with ido-mode, but I don't remember why. It was a couple weeks ago.
Just now while verifying reproduction of the window corruption, I did it a little differently and managed to lock up Emacs with 100% CPU usage, and got a segfault when I killed it, but I can't reproduce that. Too bad that dumping core isn't the default anymore.

This is reproducible with 23.X (up to 23.4), but it does not happen
with 24.0.97 (there is much window stuff changed in 24.1 with respect
to 23.X).
