bug#9723: 24.0.50; Emacs Clipboard crash

My thought exactly, but it would be interesting to know why it is trying to set 
a bad size in the first place. Given my abilities to keep debug sessions 
running, though, I would vote to go with the defensive fix and correct or abort 
an invalid resize.

The upgrading happens in check_frame_size and 2 is the minimum width sufficient 
for the frame's root window.  Why do you think it's too small?

If you know what the minimum "safe" value is, why not use that?
