Thanks, I've converted it to use wresize and mvwin instead of deleting
and recreating the windows, and also changed the types of the vars used
to calculate everything from char to int. My code is still broken.

I'm outputting the coords/geometries of the two windows to stderr and
redirecting that to another terminal from bash. it seems to show that my
code is not catching all the KEY_RESIZE events from wgetch.

Does KEY_RESIZE go to all windows as far as use of wgetch is concerned?
