That doesn't make sense.  There is no communications with the system in
between the screen resize and the screen update.  Unless it's updating again,
after that due to the AS/400 sending something -- anything, even just turning
on the message waiting indicator, for example.

I think it's more likely a timing issue on the client side, however - most
likely the xterm is still resizing when we indicate to curses that it is done,
and curses retreives the current size of the xterm (which is the old size).

Now I just have to figure out if xterm *does* send a SIGWINCH when you tell it
to resize.  Otherwise, we just have to insert like a 1/4 second usleep() or
something.
