In a standard console window on Windows 2008 (but the OS doesn't matter):

  $ echo $LINES

  $ echo $LINES				# make windows smaller

  $ echo $LINES				# make windows bigger

  $ kill -WINCH $$; echo $LINES
  54
  $ echo $LINES				# make windows smaller
  54

It never worked right for me in a console window.

I didn't claim that.  I just mentioned that to point out the difference.

I know.  I have no idea what could be different between your and my
setup, though.
