w->startp is the window-start of the window represented by `w'. It is
a very important player in displaying the window. If that is
uninitialized, we have a much larger catastrophe on our hands than
some obscure local variable that _could_ be uninitialized ;-)
IOW, if w->startp does not have a valid value, Emacs will crash
pronto.
