According to Bob Rossi on 1/28/2006 9:19 PM:
> On Linux, something totally different happens. When I initialize
> readline, it eventually calls tgetent, which happens to set LINES and
> COLS to the correct size of the terminal. On cygwin this doesn't happen.
> The call readline makes to tgetent leaves LINES and COLS alone. Then,
> in Cygwin when I get to initscr, LINES and COLS is set to 25x80, unless
> I set the LINES and COLUMNS environment variables before the call to
> initscr.

http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man3/tgetent.3.html does not document
that tgetent() messes with the environment, but if that is the case, you
may be onto something.  Perhaps it really is something cygwin1.dll needs
to patch to be more similar to linux.
