I spent some time on it but could never figure out why xterm does
not respond to resizing requests. Since I do not need Tektronix
emulation I ended up switching to rxvt which is a pretty good
xterm replacement. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I has an
explanation/fix for this behavior. I have built xterm with
curses/termcap and get the same problem.
But even with rxvt, there is a trick there too. You must resize your
window with the mouse in order for applications such as less, vi, etc
to use more than 25 lines.
