it's pretty much always just worked with me. I'm using a very old
version of putty, but it all hangs together as well as anything else

Resizing the window when entering SQL works OK for me, but resizing when
inside my pager (normally the "less" utility, when you get more results
than will fit on the screen) causes psql to be confused when I return to
it.
Exactly the same bug occurred in various shells a while ago and was
fixed (I believe) by getting them to inquire about the screen dimensions
far more than they strictly ought to be doing. I'd also guess that psql
doesn't know or care about the screen size as it's all handled by the
"readline" library.
