Looks like this has something to do with 9.15 rxvt-unicode behaviour
and the latest vim from mercurial repo.

"The way urxvt works in this case that it just positions the cursor to
the top row and then just erases everything below that point. This
means you lose valuable lines from the scrollback. Example: type "seq
1000", press ctr-L. Now you won't see the last lines of the command's
output!" -- this is exactly what is happening in my case.

I got that from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129302

But, the patch noted in that discussion is not helping.

Anyway, just a heads-up if anyone is interested.

Thanks
Joe
