Uncontrolled display on sun-consoles.....

[Raghu Machiraju]

The console of a sun here was afflicted with a strange "scrolling" fit.  A
"man something" leads to output which can be barely read as everything
whizzes by in a jiffy.  I used the eeprom command to set rows=20 and that
behaviour stopped. What puzzles me is that other suns which did not
exhibit this behaviour had rows set to 0 !!!!

[[ Perhaps the terminal driver's rows setting was something large.  Check
it with "stty everything".  --wnl ]]
