This was the answer to getting bash to recognise that it was in a
window > 80 characters wide:

How can I get bash to do this automatically at startup? I tried
putting "kill -WINCH $$" in ~/.bashrc, but this doesn't work. It only
seems to work at the command line. I would hate to type this (or some
alias) every time I open a bash window, which in my case *always*
starts with > 80 characters.
Thanks,
David
