Subject: Pine bug

We're experencing some problems with Pine 3.91 here and I was wondering whether
anyone else has had the same error.

The problem is this:

If (using stty) the number of rows is set to something other than 0, and the
number of columns is set to anything greater than 257, then when someone tries to
Compose, Reply, Forward, etc, Pine quits with a 'Bug in Pine detected: "Received
abort signal"' error.

(BTW, the large column values aren't set deliberately, they probably only appear
 because of comms problems.)
