I finally solved this problem by looking at other sources and applying
some trial and error.

It turns out that you must specify the FRAME_ARGC_PTR_ARGV parameter in
the initial call to window_create().  If you specify it in a subsequent
call to window_set(), you get the "device busy" message.

That's all there is to it.  Just make sure that FRAME_ARGC_PTR_ARGV comes
after any defaults you set (e.g., WIN_WIDTH, WIN_HEIGHT) which the user
may want to override, and before any defaults which you do not want to let
the user override.  This is one case where the ordering "set FRAME_*
attributes, then WIN_* attributes" does not apply.

This bug has been reported to Sun software support under the
service order number 352219.
