When I open an 80x25 terminal with xterm227 and use less406 to view a file
with lines longer than 80 characters, the lines first wrap.  After resizing
the window, the file shows up properly after I scroll in it.

If I re-open the file in less after quitting less, the file shows up correctly
upon opening it.

So maybe it is a vi problem?
