RE: bash sees all lines as 80 chars long

This was the answer to getting bash to recognise that it was in a
window > 80 characters wide:

How can I get bash to do this automatically at startup?  I tried
putting "kill -WINCH $$" in ~/.bashrc, but this doesn't work.  It only
seems to work at the command line.  I would hate to type this (or some
alias) every time I open a bash window, which in my case *always*
starts with > 80 characters.

Thanks,
David
