1.3.76: pine startup freezing.

When doing an rlogin to a user account from 'root' on my machine running
1.3.75 or 1.3.76 and immediately starting 'pine', it consistantly freezes
at this poing while chewing up CPU resources. Anything 'nice'd will no
longer get to run.

I have to kill -9 the 'pine' user process to free the shell. After this
is done, immediately executing 'pine' works. The problem consistantly
occurs under a VT and under an xterm.

Perhaps this might have something to do with the what I reported earlier
(but didn't seem to generate any discussion or response) with the LINES
and COLUMNS variables in a newly started 'bash' shell not reflecting
their true window dimensions.
