At least in CVS HEAD it checks before every query output.

Could you define "messed up"?
What I see is that the query output is formatted correctly but readline still
thinks the screen is the old size. (This is in CVS HEAD -- this code was
definitely different in 8.3 and before so the behaviour may be different).
Perhaps we need to tell readline whenever we run a subprocess and it may have
missed screen resize signals.
It's easy enough to work around, just resize the window again a little bit
once you're at the prompt. Readline notices that and adjusts.
