Just the lower half? Lucky! I generally get either random characters
or all 1s on the whole screen when I switch to and from ZGV quickly.

ObSysInfo (I forgot last time; I apologize for that and for misspelling
"reproducible"): 486DX2/66, 8M RAM, Cirrus Logic GD5428 w/1M RAM on
VLB. It doesn't matter whether the card's in linear mode or not.
