It's possible and even very easy.  Here's one way:

  emacs -Q
  C-x 2
  C-u 12 M-x shrink-window RET
  C-x C-+ + + + + + ....

Continue pressing "+" until the cursor becomes taller than the window,
and you are done.

Another way is to insert a tall image and see what happens with that.

It was a good-faith question, this stuff always needs to be tested in
such extreme situations.
