Please show the output of each one the following forms, evaluated in
both the "good" and "bad" configurations, when you start "emacs -Q"
and visit the same /dev directory:

  (window-height)
  (window-pixel-height)

You can evaluate each form using M-:, as in

  M-: ((window-height) RET

Please compare the return value of window-height with the actual
number of lines available in that window, and tell if the two match.
