It's more likely that it's an issue with iTerm. Screen can resize
dynamically if the term program works correctly.

That said, screen and the relationship to the termcap is always a
royal pain.  I use tcsh and I always throw something in my .tcshrc to
detect for the TERM environment variable value for screen and blow
away TERMCAP if it finds it.

 if ($term == "screen") then
    unsetenv TERMCAP
 endif

Syntax will be different for other shells.
