So I guess that face was freed or otherwise made invalid.  I thought
we've got rid of these problems, sigh...

If you start "emacs -Q", let Emacs start up, and then look at that
face ID, do you see a valid symbol?  IOW, do this:

  $ gdb ./emacs
  ...
  (gdb) break Fredraw_display
  (gdb) r -Q

Then, after Emacs starts up, type "M-x redraw-display RET", and at the
GDB prompt type:

  (gdb) p lface_id_to_name[17]
  (gdb) xsymbol

What does that show?

And what is the value of next_lface_id at that point?
