The option initial-frame-alist doesn't seem to be supported in version 
21.3.1. When I run emacs with

   emacs -g <w>x<h>

I get a non-maximized window of size w x (h - 3) if h <= 32. If h > 32 
the window is maximized. The setting in ~/.emacs is still ignored, even 
if I set height to e.g. 24. Strange indeed.
