Throughout, $COLUMNS never changes, but stty config does.
-------------------------------------------------------------
d3:~/tmp$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 24; columns 80; line = 144;
[snip what doesn't change]
d3:~/tmp$ ls

d3:~/tmp$ ls
[hit ^C to break out after waiting a couple of seconds]
d3:~/tmp$ stty -a 
speed 38400 baud; rows 64343; columns 49151; line = 144;
[nothing has changed except columns and rows]
d3:~/tmp$ stty rows 25 columns 80
d3:~/tmp$ ls
a  b  c
d3:~/tmp$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 144;
[snip verified with a diff, nothing has changed from orig but columns
 and rows, which I have changed back -- ls now works again]
