No crash here, just takes some time to execute.  Tested with release and
master.  The recipe seems contrived.  ‘fit-frame-same-row-windows’ and
‘fit-frame-same-column-windows’ are nowhere used, IIUC.  All you do is
find the number of lines and the maximum number of columns of any line
of simple.el.  Why on earth should that crash?
