ls has a check in it which assumes a column width <20 or >160 must be
in error.  An AT&T 3B2 running V.3 exhibits the same behavior.  I'll
initiate getting this changed in our next release.

vi screen size limits:

		 LINES     COLUMNS     LINES * COLUMNS

pre-7.0:          100        160          10000
7.0:              128        160          16896
post-7.0:         128        212          16896
