GNU Emacs 18.52, ULTRIX 3.1

If overlay-arrow-position is at point-max and is visible, the overlay
arrow string will be displayed in its proper position and on every line
thereafter until end of window.  I have been told that this bug still
exists in version 18.55.

To produce the buggy behavior, put the following Lisp in a file, and run
"emacs -q -l <file>".

(switch-to-buffer (generate-new-buffer "*bug test*"))
(setq overlay-arrow-position (point-marker)
      overlay-arrow-string "this string will be displayed repeatedly")
