Just for fun I tried turning on balloon-help-mode in 21.4.19 native Windows,
and whilst it's decidely sub-optimal [1], I haven't gotten it  to crash

[1] It creates an invisible dummy frame to act as the parent of the
ballon-help window, however that frame does not stay invisible, nor can it
be deleted. Oh, and the window containing the text is too small, maybe by 1
character.
