Could be, yes.  But one can never be sure, because the display engine
has many different optimizations, so it could be that this particular
case is handled elsewhere, for example in try_window_id, which also
handles cases like this one.

The best idea I have is to add a printf right before the mainline of
its algorithm, after this comment:

  /* Reallocate vectors, tables etc. if necessary.  */

and pay attention which edits cause that printf.
