Yes, the *scratch* buffer (but any buffer will do). It doesn't visually
scroll, but on my machine scrolling produces a lot of audible bells and
emacs keeps saying "Beginning/End of buffer".

I was able to produce a backtrace by ensuring my *-debuginfo packages
were the same version as my emacs packages :P  I'm not entirely sure how
this bug tracker takes pastes... so I've attached it. Also mirrored
here: http://eserver.sytes.net/tmp/emacs-nox-scrolling-bt.txt

I'm a little busy, but I'll get back to compiling emacs later today.
