	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.

-----
This "bug" could be used as a feature to more closely emulate vi;
set the overlay-arrow-string to "~".  I dont think Stallman 
wants to support this feature, although it is useful to provide visible
feedback of where the end of the buffer is.
