Public bug reported:

1. Create a Precise container with the Ubuntu template:
    sudo lxc-create -n precise -t ubuntu -- -r precise
2. Start the container with lxc-start:
    sudo lxc-start -n precise

The following effects can be observed:
a) Independent of the actual size:
ubuntu@precise:~$ echo $COLUMNS $LINES
80 24
b) Commands like less behave strange if not 80x24.
c) If you type a command that is longer than 80 chars, the cursor jumps to the 
first column on the same line overwriting the prompt and the command; the ouput 
of such commands is correct.

If you connect to the container with
    sudo lxc-console -n precise
the effects a-c cannot be observed and work as expected.

Expected: containers started with lxc-create should behave like containers 
connected to with lxc-console
Workaround:
    sudo lxc-start -n precise -d
    sudo lxc-console -n precise
