bug#64710: AW: bug#64710: 29.0.92; desktop session on terminal with speedbar crash

[johann.hoechtl]

The reason is actually not related to desktop-save. Unfortunately it is not 
easy to reproduce, as the behavior is not consistent. With the following recipe 
it shows quite regular though:

* Open a Windows Terminal, either Windows Terminal with bash or directly 
cmd.exe; Didn't test with powershell.
* Run emacs -Q -nw
* M-x speedbar-get-focus
* Right-click with the mouse, so the speedbar menu displays <-- this step 
*seems* to trigger the bug more easily

Now the behavior is not consistent, either
* Emacs enters a spin-lock and doesn't react; OR
* Emacs crashes with a backtrace; OR
* Emacs continues without any issues.

I did however also notice in the past that Emacs on Windows (builds from 
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-29/) had spurious crashes 
on other places, albeit only when running with -nw. So there might be a nasty 
(Windows - only) terminal display bug?

I do attach the backtrace and hope that it might be useful.

Can you describe the recipe in more detail?  Specifically:

  . did you save the desktop from GUI session or -nw session?
  . did you have Speedbar frame in the session from which you saved
    the desktop?

If you could present a complete recipe starting from "emacs -Q" or "emacs -Q 
-nw", that would help a lot to understand the problem.

Thanks.
