As I mentioned in another thread, Cygwin's handling of console window
size changes is not perfect. It is hampered by what Windows provides.
I don't see any difference between Cygwin 1.5 and Cygwin 1.7 in this
regard and I would not have expected any since there were no changes
in that part of the code.
