Thanks to this I found the problem. This bug is not *really* caused by the
patch since the patch changed the default buffer height from 25 to 300
characters.

If you test Far Manager 1.65 under r47145 then you will find it is actually
there. To reproduce, just right-click the console and set the height of the
*buffer* to 300 and Far Manager 1.65 will emit an "unhandled exception" type
error.

If you want Far Manager 1.65 to work then make sure the buffer is set to 80x25
*before* you start Far Manager 1.65 up in that same console window.
