The same (the echo area is unnecessarily resized).

Hm, this works if I `setq' that variable before calling `message', but

   (let ((resize-mini-windows nil)) (message _SOME_KOREAN_STRING_))

still resizes the echo area.  Any idea how to disable the resizing for
one `message'?  (A real fix = correct behaviour w/ var-width fonts would
also be OK.)
