Only once, right?

This is the error which (indirectly) caused the crash you reported
originally.  The fix just falls back on a safer method of re-creating
*scratch* when this error happens.

It is a very unusual situation that *scratch* needs to be re-created
when we call set-window-configuration; it is caused by the fact that
your recipe kills one of the two only buffers Emacs has to play
around (the other one being *Messages*).
