The "ioctl" #define is different betwen BSD4.3 and SunOS prior to SunOS
3.2; SunOS 3.2 introduced the 4.3BSD TIOC[GS]WINSZ "ioctl"s, although
they weren't documented until 4.0.  (The older SunOS "ioctl"s were
TIOC[GS]SIZE.)

>I believe SunOS doesn't do number 2.

You must still be running SunOS 3.0 or something; the old TIOCSSIZE
"ioctl" didn't cause the signal to be sent, but the new TIOCSWINSZ
"ioctl" does so in SunOS just as it does in BSD (and, I think, in System
V Release 4).
