Re: signalling errors in redisplay

    I think that it should still be possible to `display' the disabled
    buffer - however, rather than trying to display the actual buffer
    contents, the effect should be an window showing a message like this

            THIS BUFFER CANNOT BE SHOWN DUE TO INTERNAL PROBLEMS
            You may still save and try to modify the buffer

This seems like a good extension of the feature.  However, it probably
requires additional expertise in the display code.  I could do the
simpler version of the idea pretty easily; I would not be sure how to
add this extension.

Does anyone want to volunteer to do this who knows how?
Otherwise, I should probably do the part I know how to do.
