scrolling in comint mode always conservative

[Ryan Yeske]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I have `comint-scroll-show-maximum-output',
`comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input', and
`comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output' all set to nil, and yet my comint
buffers still scroll conservatively.  

I notice the following in `comint-mode':

  ;; This makes it really work to keep point at the bottom.
  (make-local-variable 'scroll-conservatively)
  (setq scroll-conservatively 10000)

which appears to be the culprit, if I set it to 0, I get the normal
emacs scrolling I am looking for.
