I thought that maybe raising the signal (SIGWINCH) manually might be a more portable way of doing things but this appears not to work reliably with readline. Poking around the code and reading posts like this (https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-11/msg00597.html) suggests maybe readline's signal handling is too smart for its own good.
