Re: loading vm reader causes fatal error

[Richard Stallman]

It looks like the crash is caused by the change below.  I put it in
because I got the impression that the lface was never newly created
here.  It seemed to have been created earlier.

This change can certainly be taken out, but before you do that, could
you determine in what case it happens that the lface for default is
not created earlier?

!       Lisp_Object frame;
!       XSETFRAME (frame, f);
!       lface = Finternal_make_lisp_face (Qdefault, frame);
!     }

    if (FRAME_WINDOW_P (f))
