Results of some additional testing.

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Change the prompt string so that it is very long (eg. 80 characters). (export PS1=<long string>)
2.  Write a lengthy string after the prompt (eg. <prompt> <long string> )
3.  Narrow the terminal window so that the prompt part of the command-line wraps over two or more lines.
4.  Widen the terminal window back to its original size.  Spurious lines will be left on the screen.

This is not reproducible with the zsh shell and occurs in gnome-terminal,xterm and Konsole 3/4, all of which have different terminal emulation backends, which leads me to suspect a bug in bash.

I couldn't reproduce this.  Make sure that all the terminals are using the same text size.
