Ouch! I'm more or less able to reproduce the problem: When I call this
twice (the second time with the "z" buffer open in a separate frame),
this ends badly.  Emacs didn't crash, but became unresponsive.  None
of kill{, -1, -15} helped, only kill -9 killed it.  Unfortunately I'm
running under Mac OS X (GNU Emacs 26.0.50.3
(x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of
2016-12-10 - sorry, that's all my employer tolerates), so I'm not
really able to help debug this.  If help is needed I can try under
GNU/Linux in a VM.
