Notice that you set up some low-level TeX dimensions, which is probably
not a very good idea. I would advise not to set manually any dimension
unless you know exactly what you're doing. For instance, setting
\topskip to 0pt is seldom a good idea. (You will butcher the
consistency of spacing - more precisely, the top margin will be "wobbly"
then - for no gain in "less spacing".) For manipulating page-related
dimensions, the "canonical" way nowadays is to use the geometry package.
Also, negative \topsep looks strange, though I'm not knowledgable enough
about LaTeX inner workings to understand everything you do here.

No idea why. You might ask on TeX.SE, or just start with deleting evry
setting you are not sure what it does and see what happens.
