Hmm, I know the height of the console was smaller than usual. My best guess at dimensions were COLUMNS=55 LINES=11 or perhaps LINES=17 I'm not sure which package or template was involved, but I think it involved checking the running kernel, or something like that, probably in a trigger based on some other surrounding context I should have included in the bug report but now only remember vaguely. Sorry I don't have a clearer idea of how to reproduce it. -- see shy jo
