The code that crashed redraws the entire frame, not a single window
(TTY redrawing always works like that).  So the size that matters is
the size of the entire frame, including the menu bar (if present), the
mode line, and the minibuffer window/echo area, not the maximum size
you can give to your buffer windows.
