The reason is that the pseudo-terminal is confused and thinks the number of rows is 34, instead of 24." "Right---but this bug does not occur in 4.3BSD-tahoe (`login' resets the tty size) ..." So if I use the "login user" command in a window to become a different user, my window size is lost? We put this bugfix in init. Just before it execs getty, it resets rows and columns to zero. (We couldn't do this in getty because getty may be run in a window, put there by our "xstart" utility.) -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!tekecs!andrew) [UUCP] (andrew%tekecs.tek.com@relay.cs.net) [ARPA]
