I am really sorry to drone on about this, but I've tried to reduce the
problem to its basics. I feel more or less certain there's something a bit
glitchy with recent versions of login and how it interacts with rxvt.
(BTW, I have not yet updated to login-1.6-1 as recently announced.)
Start Cygwin with the sparse switchless command
c:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe
Then just do this:
$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 0;
< .. and lots of other stuff .. >
$ login
login: <yourusername>
fergus @ LEPER ~
$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;
< .. and lots of other stuff .. >
In this second case of stty -a, rows and columns have altered from 25 and 80
to 0 and 0. Is this not the root of the problem earlier described under
"pico and nano: number of lines displayed"?
To do this test I deleted .bash_profile, .bashrc and .inputrc. It seems to
me that this is as sparse an example as I could have provided of this
strange behaviour, and would like to know whether others can duplicate it?
I am using Windows 98 S/E.
Thank you.
Fergus
