core dump when window is too short; infinite loop when too narrow |

In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2001-10-24 on radish.petrofsky.org
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
-- Create a window with height two, but zero usable lines because
mode-line-format and header-line-format are both non-nil:
emacs -q
C-u C-x 2 C-h i C-x o M-2 C-x ^ M-C-v
Symptom: Fatal error (6).Aborted (core dumped)
-- Create a window with one usable column and try to display a two-column
character:
emacs -q --eval "(setq truncate-partial-width-windows nil)"
M-10 C-x 3 C-x o M-7 C-x } C-x o C-h h M->
Symptom: infinite loop. (Must C-g C-g and dump core to stop.)
These happen with TERM=linux or TERM=screen. Seems okay under X11.
Perhaps the minimum window height needs to be changed from two to
three, to ensure there is at least one body line.
