The original report didn't say anything about setting
resize-mini-windows to nil.  In fact, the original report didn't
provide any details to explain why a separate minibuffer frame doesn't
have enough space to display several lines of text.  So I think we
don't have a clear understanding of the problem, and should request
details.
