RE: resizing of terminals fails

Ok, I have the following signal-handler:

void do_resize(int s)
{
        struct winsize size;

        if (ioctl(STDIN_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, &size) == 0)
        {
                terminal_changed = 1;

                max_y = size.ws_row;
                max_x = size.ws_col;
        }
        else
        {
                fprintf(stderr, "ioctl failed\n");
                exit(1);
        }

        signal(SIGWINCH, do_resize);
}

so it gets the resolution from the terminal. That one works.

But then in my main-loop:

                if (terminal_changed)
                {
                        terminal_changed = 0;

                        if (resizeterm(max_y, max_x) == ERR)
                        {
                                fprintf(stderr, "problem resizeing
terminal\n");
                                exit(1);
                        }

                        touchwin(stdscr);
                        endwin();
                        refresh();

                        create_windows();
                }

then it fails at the resizeterm!
