  Apologies if this is the wrong place to send this, or if it has been
reported before -- I do not know where pmax bugs are supposed to go,
and I looked for but could not find a previous report of this problem.

  The version of kerberos rlogin on the pmax does not appear to
correctly pass SIGWINCH on to client programs.  I was running a
program that is sensitive to SIGWINCH in an rlogin to a pmax, and when
I changed the size of the xterm, the SIGWINCH did not get to the
client at the other end of the rlogin.

  When I run the same client in an xterm on pmax's X display, it gets
the SIGWINCH fine.
