From the backtrace you attached earlier it's clearly visible that in 21
calls the value is 56.  And as I remarked earlier, this value is Windows
internal.  So unless we have some proof that Emacs is asking Windows to
do something like enlarging the title bar or wrapping the menu bar, we
must assume that Emacs sent so many resize requests in a row that it was
able to confuse Windows.

I have no idea how often you ask for changing the frame size in one and
the same redisplay cycle.  On Windows, without ConfigureNotify events, I
wouldn't issue more than one request per frame in one redisplay cycle.
Everything else means asking for trouble.
