I think there is a bug in the 6.0C/RT X server with XClearArea.  At
least the problem shows up in xterm.  To reproduce, "more" a couple of
files in a row and set the screen such that another window overlaps
the last line of one of the files.  When more tries to clear the line
(using a clear-to-end-of-line xterm ESC sequence), only that part of
the line displayed above the bottom border of the second window will
get cleared.

Ok, so that didn't make any sense.  See me for a personal demo.
