often when i vm a large file, the pointer (the -> that points to
messages) is actually below the window that is shown.  the point (the
cursor) is in the window, but the pointer is below.  then if i type p
or n, the whole window changes down to where the pointer is.  this can
be disconcerting and the only workaround is to hit spc when entering a
vm file.

(i am using vm 5.32 with various jwz type hacks that might be
affecting this behavior.)

p.s.  when is the next version going to be released?

This happens to me when I start to reply to some mail but then change
my mind and kill the reply buffer (C-x k RET).  Very disturbing the
first time I saw it happen.  Now it's just damn annoying...

This happens in clean-n-pure 5.32.
