No, it does not, at least not on my system.  There's a small vscroll
(you should see it if you move the cursor vertically with C-p after
eval-buffer returns).  So the code works, it just yields a vscroll
that is not what you expect for some reason (and in about 50% of my
attempts -- in the rest the code works as you expect).
