Thanks, can you tell the value of face_id argument to the function
display_mode_line and also of the variable 'face' after
extend_face_to_end_of_line returns:

  /* Make a 3D mode-line have a shadow at its right end.  */
  face = FACE_FROM_ID (it.f, face_id);
  extend_face_to_end_of_line (&it);
  if (face->box != FACE_NO_BOX)  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I suspect that 'face' is a NULL pointer there.
