Hello,
While investigating the recent bug report posted by Thomas Zajic
regarding cons.saver I came across the following code:
winsz.ws_col = winsz.ws_row = 0;
if (ioctl (console_fd, TIOCGWINSZ, winsz) 0
|| winsz.ws_col = 0 || winsz.ws_row = 0
|| winsz.ws_col = 256 ||

The problem is this check does not happen when the screen (say xterm) is
being resized so we need it here as well.
I don't understand what you are talking about. cons.saver is used only in

As long as it doesn't write into unallocated memory mc will not crash. I

Indeed this limit should be increased to 512, but as I've pointed out
