That's a new one for me. Never heard of anything like it before.

To debug, start with xemacs -q (which loads the vendor customizations
but not your personal ones), visit the init.el file with C-x C-f, and
then do C-M-f C-x C-e until the window goes wacky. That will localize
the culprit fairly well.
The window configuration code has been under active revision for
several versions. I suggest you upgrade to CVS current (the latest
beta is 21.5.21, but there have been changes to window config code
since then). Alternatively you can wait a few days; there should be a
new beta release shortly.
You could also try pinging your OS vendor, if you're using an
OS-supplied package.
