What do you mean by "reset LINES/COLUMNS"? I am not sure what
is the behaviour diffrence in Linux and cygwin you mentioned.
Actually not sure I can reproduce this now. The only
thing I am noticing is that if bash is attached to /dev/pts3
(as in mintty), it works, but if attached to /dev/cons0 (as in
cmd.exe), nothing works as no signal is propagated from
the window resize to running program.
AFAIK, though, that's always been one of multiple probs in using windows
cmd with a bash shell.
maybe this is waht you are looking for:
# This causes bash to check the terminal size after every command
# and adjusts $LINES and $COLUMNS to the correct values.
shopt -s checkwinsize
Newer bash man pages say this is the default; set in my .bashrc so I can't tell;
bash man pages also say COLUNS and LINES are set on SIGWINCH if interactive:
$ man bash | egrep -A1 'COLUMNS|LINES|checkwinsize'
COLUMNS
Used by the select compound command to determine the terminal width when
printing selection lists. Automatically set if the checkwinsize option
is enabled or in an interactive shell upon receipt of a SIGWINCH.

checkwinsize
If set, bash checks the window size after each command and, if
necessary, updates the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
