Bug#397339: openssh-client: Drops SIGWINCH events when 'tail' is running
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.3p2-5
Severity: normal

This has been bugging me for ages, I've finally got a way to reproduce
it! In an X11 terminal emulator:
sam@local$ ssh host
sam@host$ echo $COLUMNS
80
sam@host$ tail -n 0 -f /var/log/daemon.log
[now resize the terminal emulator window]
sam@host$ echo $COLUMNS
80
It seems the 'window changed size' event never got to the server.
Compare to doing the same locally:
sam@local$ tail -n 0 -f /var/log/daemon.log
[now resize the terminal emulator window]
sam@local$ echo $COLUMNS
96
This also seems to happen if 'screen' is run on the remote host instead
of tail.
