BUFFERP(...) also examines the size of the glyph object, i.e. it
accesses something like this:

        XVECTOR(row->glyphs[area][i].object)->size

So it seems that the glyph object (after stripping off bits and
pieces) points to void memory -- which should not happen.

The question is what object should have been there (if any)...
What was displayed in the window where this happened?

Next time this happens, pls. print the information from the following
gdb commands:

  p *row
  p i
  p area
  p row->glyphs[area][i]
  p row->glyphs[area][i+1]  
  p row->glyphs[area][i-1]  (if i > 0)
  prow

  up
  p start

  up
  p first_unchanged_at_end_vpos
  p dvpos
  p dy
  p *w
  pwin
