It's a feature that has a bug, as far as I'm concerned.  Zsh went from
not believing LINES and COLUMNS when it should have, to believing them
even when it should not.  However, it's very difficult to come up with
an accurate expression for when they ought to be recognized.

} Setting LINES and COLUMNS is precisely why I use "eval `resize`".  It
} seems to work on every other shell except Zsh.  In fact it worked on
} Zsh 3.0.2.

Run "resize" without the "eval" wrapper and see what it spits out.  It
may be emitting some syntax that zsh doesn't like.  (And if you still
have 3.0.2 around, run it there too and see it it differs at all.)
