This window is dead, AFAICT, and its memory has been recycled.  So
somehow we attempt to show mouse highlight on a deleted window or
something.  I have no idea how this could have happened.

Moreover, the frame itself seems to have bogus values:

What exactly did you do immediately prior to the crash?
