FYI, this bug has been fixed by Aaron Ecay [1], commit 8392a7cc, which
will be included in v0.12.  Not accompanied by a test, though, so keep
an eye out for regressions.

Maybe the following might be of use to someone:

  #+begin_src sh
    msg_lines=25
    sh -c "stty rows 24 cols 80; \
        emacs -Q -nw --eval \
        '(progn
            (dotimes (i ${msg_lines}) (insert \"\n\"))
            (goto-char (point-min))
            (scroll-up nil)
            (princ (line-number-at-pos nil)))'"
  #+end_src

This correctly returns "20", but when running the exact same thing
with Emacs in batch mode (add '--batch' option), it returns "7" ?!?


Peace
