It is acting as though it received an over-sized erase command.  Either 
the iSeries is sending an Erase to Address that is larger than the window 
or lib5250 is erasing more than necessary.  lib5250 forces an erase to 
address for the size of the window since sometimes the iSeries sends the 
text behind the window (I have been unable to figure out why).  You could 
use the trace= option and look for the create window command and the 
preceding erase to address and compare the sizes.
