I am trying to use several packages, such as `view' and `info', which
seem to be confused about where the end of the file is.  On further
examination, it seems that (pos-visible-in-window-p (point-max)) is
returning t even when it is patently obvious that this is not the
case.  My configuration:

X11R5 from MIT (no server)
X server is IBM Xstation 130.
Window manager is TWM.
Epoch 4.0p2 from UIUC
Configured:
#include "config/s-aix3-2.h"
#include "config/m-ibmrs6000.h"
#define MAINTAIN_ENVIRONMENT
#ifndef PURESIZE
#ifdef HAVE_X_WINDOWS
#define PURESIZE 220000
#else
#define PURESIZE 120000
#endif
#endif
#undef TERMINFO /* because IBM's 3.1 terminfo was brain-damaged */
#undef X_DEFAULT_FONT
#define X_DEFAULT_FONT "-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--14-*"
#undef LIBS_MACHINE
#define LIBS_MACHINE -lbsd -lrts
#undef SPECIFY_X11R4
#define SPECIFY_X11R4 1

#undef LIB_X11_LIB
#define LIB_X11_LIB -L/usr/local/lib -lX11

#define C_SWITCH_SYSTEM -I/usr/local/include

/* Let's see if this works now, in 3.2 */
/* It's a good thing that it does, because ^G in a Hyperbole menu
   makes it call abort() when SIGIO is not used. */
#undef BROKEN_FIONREAD
#define NO_SOCK_SIGIO 1 /* so says the manual */
#undef sigsetmask /* we have this syscall defined, use it! */

I dump ange-ftp and the main module of the Emacs Calculator (calc.el)
into my working image, and I use the Zawinski byte-compiler.  I use a
mode-line which results in having the last little bit of each
Emacs-window being unusable, so if I sweep out an 80x54 Epoch-screen,
(window-height) returns 53.  I believe that I had this problem even
before I did the fancy mode-line stuff, however.  (symbol-function
'pos-visible-in-window-p) tells me that it is still a subr, so it
hasn't been overridden by anything I loaded.

Thanks for any help or fixes you can provide.
