I use the following:

(defun pete-scroll-down-one ()
  (interactive)
  (scroll-down 1))

(defun pete-scroll-up-one ()
  (interactive)
  (scroll-up 1))

(global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") 'pete-scroll-down-one)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f11>") 'pete-scroll-up-one)

This happens to me too... go to top of large buffer and just hit C-n.
Every once in a while the cursor pops to center of buffer and
continues down.  Hopefully someone here can tell us how to fix that.

(require 'scroll-in-place)
(setq scroll-step 1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
