+  /* The following mirrors what is done in xterm.c. It appears to be
+     for informing lisp of the new size immediately, while the actual
+     resize will happen asynchronously. But on Windows, the menu bar
+     automatically wraps when the frame is too narrow to contain it,
+     and that causes any calculations made here to come out wrong. The
+     end is some nasty buggy behaviour, including the potential loss
+     of the minibuffer.
+
+     Disabling this code is either not sufficient to fix the problems
+     completely, or it causes fresh problems, but at least it removes
+     the most problematic symptom of the minibuffer becoming unusable.
