Maybe the terminal driver is confused about the size of the screen?
Check what stty -a is saying:

; stty -a
speed 9600 baud; rows 24; columns 80;
[...]

If the numbers are wrong for some reason, stty can usually set them.
(If they're 0, that means whatever the termcap or terminfo database
says about that particular terminal type.)

If this isn't it either, then I haven't got any more suggestions...
