I can cause the build_frame_matrix_from_leaf_window failed assertion (
  glyph_row_slice_p(window_row, frame_row) is false  ) when slowly
resizing row by row (7→6→5 rows). The number of columns doesn't matter
(can be a normal one).

You can also try maximizing/unmaximizing“the window if you window
manager supports it. That's a way of suddenly changing the number of
rows from a normal value (e.g. 20) to a dangerous value (e.g. 4).
After unmaximizing it immediately crashes (if you did the C-x 2
split).
