I built both the slang and curses versions, patched the curses version
(temporarily - since there's no call on size_change to start things) 
to see if I wanted to get into the resize code, tested & found
that neither would repaint the screen properly -- on the next keypress, or
whatever, since there would be lines on the screen that weren't updated.

(Sometimes a ^L helped to get the screen back into the proper state).
