Hmm.

But resizeterm can leave data structures in a seriously invalid
state then if it exits early due to wresize failing, and then 
the application doesn't know which windows it daren't touch.

Clearly , the failed resize case needs more tidying up work done
than is done currently, for both wresize and resizeterm.

I try to have a look at this later this evening.
