Display bug

[Richard Stallman]

Since this happens in the CVS trunk, it should be fixed now.
Has anyone looked at this?  Please DTRT and ack.

I found that the same bug can be reproduced even with Emacs
22 (latest CVS HEAD) when it is configured with
- --enable-asserts.  Please try to build Emacs that way, and
run this code:

(defun temp ()
  (with-temp-buffer
    (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))
    (insert "a-\n-\nd\n")
    (let ((nbsp (string (decode-char 'ucs #xa0))))
      (while t
        (goto-char 1)
        (replace-string "-" nbsp)
        (sit-for 0.1)
        (goto-char 1)
        (replace-string nbsp "-")
        (sit-for 0.1)))))

It just swaps "-" and NBSP repeatedly.  As the logic of the
function try_window_id is quite complicated, I still don't
understand what is wrong.  Could someone help?  FYI,

(gdb) run
[...]
Breakpoint 1, abort () at emacs.c:431
(gdb) up
#1  0x08086b40 in try_window_id (w=0x85df240) at xdisp.c:14983
(gdb) pp w->buffer
#<buffer  *temp*>
(gdb) pp current_buffer->name
" *temp*"
(gdb) p *current_buffer->text
$7 = {
  beg = 0x85bf3e0 "a-\n-", 
  gpt = 5, 
  z = 8, 
  gpt_byte = 5, 
  z_byte = 8, 
  gap_size = 13, 
  modiff = 6, 
  chars_modiff = 6, 
  save_modiff = 1, 
  overlay_modiff = 1, 
  beg_unchanged = 1, 
  end_unchanged = 3, 
  unchanged_modified = 4, 
  overlay_unchanged_modified = 1, 
  intervals = 0x0, 
  markers = 0x854d948
}
(gdb) p row->end.pos
$8 = {
  charpos = 8, 
  bytepos = 10
}
(gdb) p w->window_end_bytepos
$9 = -2
(gdb) 

It seems that the buffer now contains only ASCII
(i.e. "a-\n-\nd\n"), but row points to a data containing
multibyte characters (NBSP in this case).
