Exactly.  It is created in init_frame_faces, and never removed as long
as the frame is alive.

Thanks.

I thought you could look that up in the debugger.  For example, the
value of 'spec' in frame #1 (see below) could tell.

Hmm... then what other images do we display?  Note that according to
the backtrace, we've found a 'display' property in  buffer, which
caused the call to lookup_image:

  #0  0x00000000006c9b5c in cache_image (f=0x13a7e00, img=0x198ee20) at ../../src/image.c:1775
  #1  0x00000000006c96e3 in lookup_image (f=0x13a7e00, spec=...) at ../../src/image.c:1686
  #2  0x000000000044bebc in handle_single_display_spec (it=0x7fffffff8ba0, spec=..., object=..., overlay=..., position=0x7fffffff8cd8, bufpos=203, display_replaced=0, frame_window_p=true) at ../../src/xdisp.c:5137
  [...]
  #6  0x0000000000454ee3 in next_element_from_buffer (it=0x7fffffff8ba0) at ../../src/xdisp.c:8133

Thanks.
