I'd suggest *not* committing this patch, or at least leaving the 
functionality disabled (PCD) by default.  If I remember correctly, we 
(SGI) tried this internally a number of years ago.  The feedback from 
early users was that resizing people's terminal windows on them is very 
annoying, and A Really Bad Idea.  They asked us to remove it 
immediately.  I'm sure it's a matter of opinion, but for our users at 
least, the opinion was pretty clear-cut.

Thanks,
