frame maximization and fonts

[David Abrahams <dave@boost-consulting.com>]

I have a .emacs file which causes my NTEmacs sesions to start with a
maximized frame.  It begins:


    (setq w32-enable-italics t)
    (setq w32-enable-synthesized-fonts t)
    (set-default-font "-*-Lucida Console-normal-r-*-*-12-96-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1")
    (set-face-font 'italic "-*-Lucida Console-normal-i-*-*-12-96-96-96-c-*-*-1")
    (set-face-font 'bold-italic "-*-Lucida Console-bold-i-*-*-12-96-96-96-c-*-*-1")

    ;; on Windoze systems, filenames are not case-sensitive. If we don't arrange for
    ;; them to come out lower-case when listed, useful toys like ediff-directories
    ;; won't work properly.
    (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
        ;; Hook the directory-files function.
        (progn
          ;; Irrelevant stuff snipped

          (defun w32-maximize-frame ()
            "Maximize the current frame"
            (interactive)
            (w32-send-sys-command 61488))

          (w32-maximize-frame)
          ))


This works fine with emacs 21.2.1, but with a recent build from the
CVS HEAD (like 3 days ago), my experience is different:

The frame appears to grow to fill the entire screen, but then, almost
instantaneously, it gets about 30 pixels shorter (the bottom edge of
the frame moves up).  This happens even if I put the call to
w32-maximize-frame at the very end of my .emacs file.  Any clues?


Thanks in advance,
Dave
