Strange.  I have no problems running the changeset with ...

Which of the two additions is responsible?  Try to remove or comment out
either the two lines in buffer.c

  if (!b->base_buffer)
    eassert (b->window_count == 0);

or all four lines containing replace_buffer_in_windows_safely_count in
window.c, as there are

static int replace_buffer_in_windows_safely_count;

                replace_buffer_in_windows_safely_count += 1;

  replace_buffer_in_windows_safely_count = 0;

  eassert (count == replace_buffer_in_windows_safely_count);

Otherwise I'm clueless.  Maybe Eli has an idea.
