Hi Dan,

echo $COLUMNS -> 80      # as expected
'stty columns 80'  FIXES it  # unexpectedly :)

I'm reiterating:
1.  Problem never happened before (up and including 2.16.0)
2.  Still doesn't happen on vesa driver
3.  Any of the "fixes" (reboot, log out/in, TERM=linux, yours) fixes it for good,
i.e. the command line wraparound (to new line) never gets broken again no matter
how many times I go to X and back.

Thanks,
-- Alex
