vesafb scrolling weirdness

It seems there is definately something weird going on in the screen
redraw routines when using vesafb. I've looked through the code, but
not being familiar with it I haven't found any likely cause. The
problem looks like there is always one line of text _underneath_ the
one containing the cursor, when the cursor it at the bottom of the
screen.

This line of text becomes visible (in the right place) when the screen
scrolls one line. The line after that one is then hidden, and so
on. There are also similar weirdnesses in ncurses-based programs.

Sorry I can't give any pointers to code... Is this a known one?
