no.  not drawterm.  not the video card.
i've recently "upgraded" x.

	; ls -l `{which drawterm}
	-rwxr-xr-x 1 quanstro users 1226424 Mar 12  2009 /home/quanstro/bin/amd64/drawterm

but that may be a red herring, see below

scrolling does not fix the problem.  the framebuffer
is wrong.  forcing faces to redraw does fix the problem.
i don't have enough screen real estate so faces is sometimes
partially obscured by acme.  the tear appears to be in line
with the top of acme's window.  in testing just now it
happened 4/4 times with faces partially obscured and 0/3
times with faces not obscured.
