I'm not sure why we have these failures to communicate. The bug _is_ caused by setting scroll-conservatively to 10000 in comint buffers as a buffer local variable. Let-binding it back to 0 in the relevant command does not help (because of when redisplay happens). The offered solutions are: 1) Don't set it to 10000 in comint buffers, since it doesn't seem to be needed. 2) Make it a variable that should not be set directly, only via M-x customize or a function that sets scroll-conservatively at the same time.
