That sounds strange: at the very least, you should be able to invoke
functions and commands from the *scratch* buffer, and the first
command could be to set the frame dimensions to something usable.
Alternatively, you could create a new frame (which supposedly will use
default-frame-alist, and thus be of reasonable dimensions), and then
kill the initial frame.  Both alternatives sound better than
restarting Emacs.

Am I missing something?
