Don't know where to go from here, but I have a breakpoint set on

      replace_buffer_in_windows_safely_count = 0;

conditioned on count != 0.

I've hit that, and here's some info.  Don't know where to go from here,
but I'm happy to give more info if requested.

Thread 3.1 "emacs" hit Breakpoint 5, replace_buffer_in_windows_safely (
    buffer=XIL(0x555556c75c9d)) at ../../master/src/window.c:3477
