Thanks, that explains the crash. I would never had expected that we
try to update invisible frames, hence the assert with --enable-checking
at the start of the function.

Now, the $1000 question is why is mini_frame in redisplay_internal
invisible? Pretty sure it has something to do with multi-tty.

Anyway. I'll develop a fix for that immediate problem tomorrow. I think
I'll just make it not crash for now, and perform the update anyway,
which I guess 30 would do.

Thanks!
