I wanted to send a user the stock answer on forwarding mail.  I looked
in the mail subtree and didn't see it but there were more entires, so
I hit the space bar to see them.  I *still* didn't see it, and the
browser reported "end of index".  For no obvious reason I hit the
space bar again, and BEHOLD! the item I was looking for appeared.

It occurred in a 24x80 xterm on an RT, in which I had used the "stock"
command from olcr.  The problem is reproducible.  It sounds like an
off-by-one error.
