Earlier I had posted a message describing a problem where the Sun I use
would in mid-session begin to believe that my vt100 had 7 lines instead of
25.

The unanimous answer from Sun-Spots folk was that the solution was to type
"stty" to reset it so that the termcap values would again be used.  This
seems to solve the problem, although I still don't know how to prevent it
from arising...

The reason that tty became confused is still unclear, although it might
relate to another process leaving the pty in a bizarre state (according to
one responder).

Thanks to all for the help.
