This seems to say that the display engine signaled an error.  If so,
the error message should be in *Messages*.  One way of accessing the
error messages is to use the facilities in etc/emacs-buffer.gdb (after
you instruct GDB to load that file with the "source" command) to
access the text of *Messages*.  An alternative is to put a breakpoint
in Fsignal, and look at the error symbol and data when the breakpoint
breaks, using the commands in src/.gdbinit that display Lisp objects.
(But do NOT use "pp", because it invokes a function inside Emacs.)

Can you do any of these?  If you need more detailed instructions, just
ask.

Thanks.
