To reproduce this, the following is required:
(setq longlines-show-hard-newlines t)

C-c l after the file above is visited.

I can reproduce this crash on both Windows XP and GNU/Linux.

The crash occurs in next_element_from_display_vector in xdisp.c (line
5961 in my current trunk sandbox), because it->dpvec is NULL and we try
to take its address. There is an xassert at the beginning of the
function that should catch this, but it must be compiled out in my
build.     

Emacs crashes in the same place regardless of whether longlines-mode is
enabled before or after the C-c l in the outline buffer, and regardless
of whether there are long lines in the buffer (the important things seem
to be longlines-show-hard-newlines and hidden text containing a hard
newline).
