Not just for creating a dialog box, but also for an ordinary Emacs
frame (it does not always crash, but it sometimes does).  As I said,
the Main Thread Checker makes it easier to detect these cases.

The Main Thread Checker reports even if you try to move/resize an
existing NSWindow in a non-main thread.  Actually even -[NSView frame]
seems to be black-listed.
