Why not get the GNU stty program, and then make a script to start emacs, so
that when you exit emacs (or kermit, if *that* is the trouble) your size
gets reset:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/emacs $*
/usr/local/bin/stty rows howmanyrows cols howmanycols

*shrug* This works for me after logging into a remote site and having my
tty size set to 80x25.
