[ GNU Emacs 18.37 on a MicroVAX II under Ultrix 2.0 ]

Occasionally while I'm in the minibuffer, the text goes off the
screen.  This can happen while I'm using filename completion or
yanking lisp code to be evaluated.  Sometimes I'd like to edit the
minibuffer before I send it off.  If I want to see what's off the
screen, I'm screwed!  Using scroll-left while in the minibuffer causes
emacs to go berserk, eventually winding up with a fatal error.  This
happens with scroll-left bound to a key.  I haven't figured out how to
test it using M-x.

So:
	1.  Watch out!!  Possible lossage!!
	2.  Why does this happen?
	3.  Can we fix it?
