(tool-bar-mode nil) resizes frame during startup

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In my ~/.emacs file, I put the following expression to turn off the
toolbar:

  (tool-bar-mode nil)

This has the undesirable effect of resizing the frame during startup.
E.g. I have my emacs geometry set for -0-0; emacs starts up in the
lower right corner, but then the frame loses some vertical size and
ends up with the lower border at a distance from the bottom of the
display that looks suspiciosly as large as the toolbar.  Requiring an
annoying manual resize of the frame.

Activating/deactivating the toolbar interactively, however, doesn't
change the size of the frame.
