[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When mini-window is frequently updated with (setq resize-mini-windows t),
TTY output may be completely screwed.

How to reproduce:

1) Create oops.el with the following function:

  (defun oops-msg ()
    (interactive)
    (setq resize-mini-windows t)
    (while t
      (message (make-string (abs (% (random) 1000))
                            (+ (abs (% (random) 25)) 97)))))

2) Run with 'emacs -Q -nw -l oops.el', then M-x oops-msg, then wait.

3) There are screenshots showing xdisp.c, showing normal and screwed
   state. For the latter, notice an absence of menubar, duplicated
   lines at the bottom of the window showing xdisp.c and completely
   screwed mini-window.

X frames aren't affected.

This is usually caused by writing a newline at the last screen line,
or trying to move the cursor to a line beyond the last.

I see similar problems in Emacs 24.3 and 23.3, so this is not a new
problem.

I tried running it for a while in Emacs 28, but I'm not able to
reproduce the problem.  Are you still seeing this?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
