   This is still occuring in 18.57 (although I only see it under VM) does
   anyone know if a patch to fix this is around?

   Joe Wells (I think) said this could cause Emacs to crash ...

Which redisplay problem are you referring to?  If you are experiencing
"ghost" windows which I (and many others) have reported over the years,
that indeed has been a problem (which might have been fixed by now, I've
never checked).  However, I think you're referring to a problem that is
caused by bugs in save-restriction.  I don't know the details, but it can
cause crashes.
