- My copy of elvis has been doing this since I started using it with Linux
- 0.96. I thought it was a sloppy compile but I see I'm not the only one.

- I have a more serious problem. I keep losing my scrolling on the 25th
- line! This would happen to me occassionally with earlier versions of
- Linux, but I'm getting it much more frequently now with 0.97 patch2.
- I'm not sure when it started, but it is getting quite annoying now.
- Does anyone know if there is a command to reset a VC after it stops
- scrolling on the 25th line?
