Hello, I recently set up a launcher to ssh to a remote host and launch mutt. I noticed that mutt doesn't acknowledge window (xterm) resizes anymore. I did some further testing and found that this breaks only when specifying a command on the ssh command line, e.g. ssh hostname -t mutt ssh hostname -t bash -c mutt ssh hostname -t bash Any of the above result in a mutt that doesn't resize. When I don't specify a command on the ssh command line, i.e. "ssh hostname", and then execute mutt from the remote shell prompt, it works fine. I'm still trying to figure out why this is happening. I've noticed it with two machines, both running ssh 1:3.4p1.-1.woody.2 . My client machine is running 3.6.1p2-8 . Anyone else see this? My guess is that the sshd on the other side isn't passing the SIGWINCH in to the running application. It seems to have been fixed in later versions, since it works at localhost (the one that's running 3.6.1p2-8). I didn't find anything about it in the changelogs, though. I guess it's probably unlikely that anybody else would have any other versions to test with these days, since I assume that everybody just updated to the same versions I did. Any more data anybody has on this is helpful, though. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.doorstop.net/sprintpcs_sucks
