Magnificent, many thanks.

A first interpretation is as follows (please correct me if you think
I'm wrong): The first hit stems from a call of 'delete-window' where
'frame-first-window' apparently finds a bad window.  The remainders
but the last one come from running 'window-configuration-change-hook'
where the saved selected window after running the local part of the
hook is dead.  The last one comes from 'window-size-change-functions'
where a call of 'select-window' apparently succeeds passing us a bad
window.

The 'window-configuration-change-hook' instances are design failures -
we simply have to let the selected window alone when the saved one has
been deleted.  The other two deserve some investigation.
