I'd give the NetHack developers points for trying real hard here, but
take them down a notch or two for using "to be implemented" features.

I had the same problem on AT&T SVR3.2.1 on a 3B2/600.  The ioctl
TIOCGWINSZ is defined, but only works on streams devices, of which I
have none.  Line 29 of ioctl.c reads:

#ifdef TIOCGWINSZ

I changed this to:

#if defined(TIOCGWINSZ) && !defined(SYSV)

I'm sure that come SVR4 TIOCGWINSZ will work like a champ...
