    "I routinely switch the console font during bootup to
    8x8 so I can get 50 lines per screen.  Until 09 Sept,
    just changing to the small font automatically gave me
    all 50 lines -- but now I'm only getting 25 lines even
    with the small font.  The bottom half of the screen
    displays the text that already scrolled off the top."
    
    This bug is due to an erroneous check in the recently added hook,
    vgacon_resize(). It checks the new height against the original number of
    rows of the console. Because the original number of rows depends on both
    the scanline and the font height, check it instead against the
    scanline/fontheight.
