From: Bodo Stroesser <[email protected]>
If a SIGWINCH comes in, while winch_thread() isn't waiting
in wait(), winch_thread could miss signals.
It isn't very probable, that anyone will see this causing
trouble, as it would need a very special timing, that a
missed SIGWINCH results in a wrong window size.
So, this is a minor problem. But why not fix, as it can
be done so easy?
