Yes, emacs was giving me trouble, as were programs which were counting
on 24 lines to a screen/page.  I haven't had trouble since I used
the .startup.tty line to force the right screen size.  I guess I
don't understand what you're asking...

*  Ack - there is no bug.... Everything works as it should.
*  
*  The bug which was fixed was the TERMCAP entry was wrong. The TERMCAP
*  entry had (0,0) for the size which prevents you from using emacs and the
*  like. Did yo uhave any problems with any programs because of the "stty
*  everything" reporting 0,0? 
*  
*  The fix did what it was supposed to do, but maybe not what you
*  expected...
