How to limit size of Vim Syntastic location list window

Question

Vim syntastic plugin pops up the errors and warnings location list and it needlessly consumes more screen space than needed for the list:

How can I configure syntastic to open a location list window that has only enough lines to show the list?

Thank you lcd047 for pointing out the answer. I added the following to my vimrc and it worked:

" see :h syntastic-loclist-callback
function! SyntasticCheckHook(errors)
    if !empty(a:errors)
        let g:syntastic_loc_list_height = min([len(a:errors), 10])
    endif
endfunction
