This may be platform specific.  I have no problems with resize/tcsh
on HP-UX, SunOS and Apollo Domain, but Solaris is acting up very
much as you've described.  I'm still poking 'round.

I'm running Solaris 2.4 and tcsh and I'm seeing LINES and COLUMNS set OK
from resize.

The apps in Solaris (specifically 2.4, not sure about other vers)
apparently do not access the LINES and COLUMNS env. vars. but instead
take their settings out of the terminal setup settings (not sure what
they're called exactly).

I've created a quick script that I can run when I do a window
resize...pretty simple really.

#! /bin/sh

eval `resize`
stty rows $LINES
stty cols $COLUMNS


Then all is hunky dory.  (Told you it was simplistic).
