Unable to increase(or decrease) scrollback lines buffer

[Chris Rainey]

I am unable to use the ' -l ' option to increase the scrollback buffer beyond ' 1000 '(default). Also, passing ' -l 0 ' does not disable scrollback.

It appears that this issue is resolved in a newer release(v0.18):

https://github.com/stjerm/stjerm/commit/cb8791f58f175643ab341658f0212ac7ebd370e4

I will request an update to the package maintainer.
