Detached minibuffer cropped text

[Marshall, Simon]

Start emacs like this:

xrdb -load
^D
emacs -Q --eval '(setq minibuffer-frame-alist (quote ((width . 80) (height .
1))) initial-frame-alist (quote ((minibuffer))))'

The detached minibuffer has insufficient space to display text.  There isn't
room to display the lower few pixels of minibuffer text.
