         (set-window-margins (selected-window) (length str))

And the "01234" text in the window margin is no longer entirely
visible. I.e., `set-window-margins' sets the margin width in
"character cells", and its pixel width does not vary when the
character size is increased by `text-scale-increaase' and friends.
This is unrelated to linum.el, AFAICS.
