Description

Line ./peers/pane.go:101 crash very rarely, but it does happen.
It will probably be more common on slow hosts and the problem happens
when the split a pane twice in a row. The first split will work, but the
second could crash if the first one's shell hasn't finished starting up.

Research direction

Start at peers/pane.go:101 and trace the NewPane path involved when two pane splits happen before the first shell finishes starting, especially on a slow host. Reproduce the rapid split scenario and verify that the second split no longer panics.
