It's not so much for the stack shape but that the VM expects executing app
code after returning from a WndProc. Before returning, the VM sets a
RETURNED_FROM_CALLBACK flag, that is checked on method activations (very
frequently). If WaitMessage doesn't return, a method activation doesn't
occur and the flag is left active. A second non-queued message then
reenters app code, and on the first method activation the flag is detected
the code isn't where it supposed (after returning) but in another callback,
confusing the app. This is not to mean the VM is bug free, the strange
thing is that it behaves differently in wine and windows.
