This version of Kickstart has bug where if you call SizeWindow(), you
don't get sent a NEWSIZE event.  1.3 would send you a NEWSIZE
event, and more recent versions of Kickstart 2.0 send NEWSIZE as well.

For arcane reasons, the minimum and maximum limits on window dimensions
(MinWidth, MinHeight, MaxWidth, MaxHeight) are supposed to be ignored
for windows that have no sizing gadget. However, there was a bug where
if you used SizeWindow() to make a window's size exceed its specified
limits, it would "snap back" to "legal" when you drag it.  That would
explain why the window snaps.  I can't remember if that was fixed
before 36.143 or soon after (it certainly is fixed in 2.02 and higher).

You should contact your dealer and update to 2.03, which consists
of Kickstart 36.209 and Workbench 36.102, or if he only has 2.02,
take that (Kickstart 36.207, WB 36.69) and see to it that he
receives 2.03 soon.
