Subject: Pine/SGI-more than 24 lines/screen

I built pine-3.91 for SGI IRIX 5.3.  Everything seems fine except for one
annoying problem.  Pine does not recognize that my remote sessions support
more than 24 lines.

I set the environmental variable LINES to 36 and all apps (e.g., emacs,
more, man) acknowledge the 36 lines.  Only Pine refuses to accept it.  I
should mention that if I connect to an AIX system, issue "stty rows 36"
and then rlogin into my SGI, then Pine acknowledges the 36 lines.

For fun, I rebuilt Pine with these parameters:
     #define USE_TERMINFO
     #define DEFAULT_LINES_ON_TERMINAL     (36)
But, no go, pine still insists on 24 lines.
