Definitely not.  I happily use a 100x40 bash window all the time.  But it
has to be fixed for a particular run (I do it by changing the Properties
tab on the batch file) because Unix programs only modify their idea of
screen size in repsonse to SIGWINCH, and Windows doesn't have anything of
the sort (or else it is too different and not worth messing up bash code).
