Hi,

The port does fix a 25 line problem - hopefully the one you're
referring to.  

After the first successful build I found that vim 5.0 (unix version, 
compiled with ncurses installed) assumed a 25 line, 80 column terminal, 
but upon resize of the xterm vim was updated with the correct settings.

I inserted a kludge to screen.c to ensure that the tty is informed
of the window size when it is opened, otherwise this didnt happen
until a resize event took place.

I have just posted the full porting process & patch to the list - 
please check this for details.

Regards,

Andrew.
