Nope, Sun got lazy.

I would be happier to see the code that resize performs (a termcap
inquiry and a couple setenv's?) added to the tcsh.  Since there is no
SIGWINCH to catch, tcsh could just unconditionally perform the code
each time it printed a prompt.  My understanding is that tcsh is
already dependent on termcap now, anyway, for editing purposes.  Any
takers?
