Vista - Automatically constraining ListView Height

How can I automatically constrain the ListView Height without
explicititly setting its Height property?

Basically, I want my ListView to be part of a Grid with RowHeight set
to a '*' value (and obviously the VerticalAlignment set to Stretch).
But if I do that, then the ListView takes up as much Height as it has
elements- and shows no Vertical Scroll Bar.

I've also tried putting the ListView in a DockPanel as the Last Child,
and with the LastChildFill property set to true. The same thing happens
then - the ListView height is unconstrained.

I'm using WinFX Beta 2

What is happening here? Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Sam

P.S. I did post this message on the Avalon forum, but it got buried; I
urgently need an answer to this.

Does setting the ListView's MaxHeight property solve the problem?

I can't remember whether I've tried that: I've got a feeling that I
did, and that it didn't work. I'll have another look on Monday.
