Sorry :-) I can't confirm: I tried to do the steps listed above, and the result
was correct WITH 'VI': but if you use emacs the 'bug' appear, but it's an
emacs' bug; since emacs doesn't make use of the 'stty rows' feature it needs
that someone create an environment variable LINES (LINES=30; export LINES).
I think this will work.
NOTE: I'm working with TCP/IP 1.2.1 and NO CSD applied.

I also tried this, but everything worked fine; maybe this is a CSD problem or
some setting in your window...
