The escape code (CSI ? 3 l) sets 80-column mode, forcing a window
resize. This is not appropriate for a reset sequence.

That would be arguable, except that it follows the guidelines in the
terminfo manpage (not just for ncurses), to reset the terminal completely.
It does mention 80 columns in there...

fwiw, the original entry which I wrote in 2001 didn't have that,
but one of the PuTTY developers had this detail in his preferred flavor - see the change for 2004-08-07.

(I didn't notice that, but we did discuss why PuTTY is not vt100-compatible ;-)

...which is ironic, since PuTTY's developers state that xterm uses
"nonstandard" escape sequences.
