Try the recipe I showed earlier in this thread with Emacs 23.3, but
use 1000 instead of 380, and you will see that only the last part of
the echo-area message is shown.

OK, but why is that a problem grave enough to be concerned about?
Using Ediff in such a way is non-standard, so won't be a problem for
most users. And even in this configuration, what is so bad about
this?

Maybe it does, but I tried that with "emacs -Q", so the number of such
other places is severely limited ;-)
AFAICS, with your patch the minibuffer is never resized to show more
than 9 lines, with the default size of the frame which can show 33
text lines. This is so even if I do _not_ split the frame into 2
windows, one below the other, but instead invoke 'message' from the
original window configuration displayed by "emacs -Q", where there's a
single window showing the "*scratch*" buffer. Try this:
emacs -Q
(message (make-string 1000 ?a))
C-x C-e
How many lines and how many a's do you see in the echo area?
