If ncurses cannot check for the actual screen size (a possible issue

Just as I thought.  I was just trying to provide as much information
as possible so that someone who is able to write a fix (I'm afraid
that is quite beyond me!) will have as much to work with as possible.

It
"should" work to use resizeterm() to tell ncurses that the screen size
has changed.

I don't think python exposes that function.

But (back to the original problem) fixing ncurses' port to OS X would
make this problem moot.  I'd like to see if SIGWINCH is defined or not -
part of seeing where the problem may lie.  It is simple to see if SIGWINCH
was defined when ncurses was compiled since _nc_handle_sigwinch() would
appear in a "nm" of the ncurses library.
