Package: bash
Version: 3.1-2
Severity: minor

When bash is run in an X11 window, it does not update the size of the 
terminal until the first command has been run or until it receives a 
sigwinch. This can be seen by launching a new terminal emulator and 
typing a long command first; the line will not wrap correctly at the 
right end of the window. I first thought it was some kind of race 
condition with gnome-terminal; but since it happened with all the 
terminal emulators I tried (rxvt and xterm for example), this is more 
likely a problem in bash. Or is it an issue with ncurses?
