I've been using a local hack which does just that.  Funnily enough it
doesn't remove all frame-resizing.  Maybe it's a bug in my hack, of course.

Not really, no.  But it did break part of my .emacs which called
`frame-parameter' or something like that.

In any case, w.r.t calling `toplevel' I agree that we should probably not do
that when processing a "-eval" (after all, the user can explicitly add
a call to (toplevel) in the Elisp code passed to the Emacs session).
The only reason why it does do it currently, is because it seemed too much
trouble to try and distinguish this case.  Maybe the recursion-depth check
should be moved elsewhere where it's easier to determine whether -eval was
used or not.
