Okay, it is definitely 2.0.30 that is at fault. This is easily producable
on my system from tty1 virtual console:

1. login as gomer
2. rlogin -l gomer localhost
3. stty size
4. if size == ok, type "exit" and goto step 2
5. stty size -> 0, 0

While doing this, I also noticed something else. After doing an "exit"
and redoing rlogin -l gomer localhost, there is a very noticable delay of
4-5 seconds taken to actually login (this is on a totally idle PPro 200).
The very first rlogin is RAPID. The second rlogin is always delayed.

When I went to 2.0.29, rlogin was consistantly rapid *always*. And after
20 or more attempts at reproducing the incorrect row/cols stty values, I
gave up.

Hardware: PPro 200, EDO 64mb, ASUS motherboard

Thanks
