A silly example with emacs -Q is

(defvar fun 0)

(defun fun (frame)
  "..."
  (message "\n%s\n" (setq fun (1+ fun))) (ding))

(add-hook 'window-size-change-functions 'fun)

This gets me complete erratic behavior when moving point.

Another example is

(defvar fun 0)

(defun fun (frame)
  "..."
  (message "%s" (setq fun (1+ fun))) (ding))

(add-hook 'window-size-change-functions 'fun)

(progn
  (tool-bar-mode -1)
  (sit-for 1)
  (tool-bar-mode 1))

With my patch for bug#21975 this runs ‘fun’ twice when the tool-bar is
reenabled.  Likely due to my calculations of the real tool bar height.
