bug#11255: 23.4; not possible to remove toolbar in .emacs in windows WIT

see : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10152287/how-to-remove-toolbar-in-emacs-in-windows-without-losing-windows-maximized-stat/10176596#10176596

When I try to disable the toolbar in my .emacs using the following command :

(custom-set-variables

'(tool-bar-mode nil)

)

or (UPDATE) following :

(tool-bar-mode -1)

the window's maximum size is reduced to only a part of the screen.

It even isn't in 'restored window size modus', but it really thinks it is maximized, so maximizing it again (using a w32-send command for example) has no effect.

If I apply the same command after starting up in lisp-interatction mode, this behaviour does not occur.
