I think I found what triggered this: with a non-default dpi setting,
for some reason the ExtractIconEx function used to load the icon
doesn't return a small version of the icon along with the normal one.
I (somewhat accidentally) fixed this in 1.0.3 by no longer insisting
on a small icon being returned, as it's optional when creating a
window class anyway.
