Attachment: reduced testcase

Reduced testcase.  What we have here is a single div, set to overflow:auto,
containing a single pre tag, which contains a monster hunk of text (about 85kb)


If you scroll the document, starting about 16,300-something (16384?) pixels
down from the top, repainting fails and the browser window just shows scrolling
junk artefacts.
