You need to be more specific about the system type.  SVR2, SVR3,
and SVR4 are so different from each other that they may as well
be different os'es.  We run a fairly straight SVR4 here, and have
no problems of this type.

SVR2 and SVR3 don't have sockets, so if you are using one of these,
they were added by your vendor, and may not be complete with respect to
window sizes (SVR2 and SVR3 only support the LINES and COLUMNS
environment variables as far as I know).
