I'd be careful 'fixing' this, as it seems to work the same
way on linux / bash.

I have this func setup on bash_profile & bashrc on
both cygwin and linux:

# display new size of terminal when resized
:                                                         
showsize () {\
  declare s=$(stty size); s="(${s// /x})"  ;\
  printf "%s" "$s${s//?/$'\b'}"       ;\
}; export -f showsize

trap showsize SIGWINCH

Of note, on linux, I didn't have to reset LINES/COLUMNS,
however, on cygwin, I note that I should.

Oh well -- hmmm....is that a bug?
