I find it hard to believe I haven't noticed this before...  I've noticed
occasional display glitches with the most recent versions of emacs
(presumably with the new display code), but never anything nice and easily
repeated as this.

Version of emacs: 18.57.1 (on all platforms)
Compiled with: gcc 1.39 -g -O (on all platforms)
Platforms:
    Sequent Symmetry S81 - DYNIX NFS V3.0.17.v3
    Sun 3/60 - SunOS 4.1.1 Rev B
    Sun 4/75 - SunOS 4.1.1 Rev B
and just to be annoying, I *don't* see the bug on the following:
    MicroVAX II - Mt. Xinu MACH 2.6 MSD

Evoking the bug:
Enter emacs, do a find-file on the following file.  Then, do a
find-file-other-window, on some non-existant file, opening up an
empty buffer, or at least that's what you should get!  What I get
on all platforms, except the microvax, is the line: 'This shouldn't be here!'
on the first line of the new, supposedly empty, buffer.  If you're not on
a 24 line screen, find one, or modify the file accordingly.

This should be here










This shouldn't be here!
