I'm afraid I cancelled that gdb session in favor of a new one recently,
sorry.  I'll report on that at the next trigger.

The scenario is the same, but recent changes my Martin have moved the
failure closer to the trigger condition.  Before I typed C-g C-g,
switched to the server buffer, changed some connections, and then things
died when the server buffer was killed.  We have managed to determine
that this is due to Vwindow_list being inconsistent with reality, and
Martin's changes have caused us to fail closer to the actual cause of
failure.
