What version of stumpwm are you running? stumpwm should stop resizing
before a frame gets to 0 height. Also, afaik you can't resize stumpwm
frames with the mouse.

Is it possible that stumpwm was no longer running at this point? It
sounds to me like you crashed it with the above steps. I suspect if
stumpwm had been running but was in some way unresponsive, C-t would
have done nothing.
