The following python code seems to expose a bug in curses library on
OS X.  As far as I can tell this is a problem with the curses library
itself, rather than the python wrapper or the terminal applications.

The following python code attempts to print the size of the terminal.
On a linux system the size of the terminal is updated as a terminal
window is resized.  However, on an OS X system, the size reported by
the following code is always the size of the terminal when the program
was executed.

Perhaps your terminal has set $LINES and $COLUMNS variables (commonly
done with termcap-oriented systems).
