I don't know if I'm the only one with that problem but net/mcabber

it's in.
I asked on the mcabber MUC and it seems that under Linux this isn't a
problem.
So is it possible that mcabber uses an ncurses function to resize that
OpenBSD doesn't know?
This is because OpenBSDs ncurses is compiled without SIGWINCH support.
See src/lib/libcurses/ncurses_cfg.h, the commented define for
USE_SIGWINCH. mcabber relies on the curses implementation to inject a
KEY_RESIZE into the key buffer, this is only done if that curses handles
SIGWINCH.
I attach a rather brute script to force resizing mcabber (which works
for me, with hitting ctrl-l). But perhaps someones know a more clever
solution?
You could manually enable it for your system in that file, but I don't
know what else could break. Another solution would be to handle SIGWINCH
in mcabber itself. I think I will take a look into that.
Kind regards
