I fought with this on Win32 gvim and never found a satisfactory
solution...Vim regularly wanted to override the specified number
of lines to make sure it fit on the screen for its definition of
"fit" (which, as you experience, left several lines off). I've
since moved mostly to my Linux box where I use console vim
instead, and have my xterms set so that I can maximize them
vertically with no window-chrome (fairly easy to do in
Fluxbox...not sure about other window managers).
