I think the limit used in mc is to restrict memory consumption and does
not indicate a slang limit. Screens that can represent more than 512 x
512 characters are still seldom, so I don't think we need to increase
that default yet.

The problem is this check does not happen when the screen (say xterm) is
being resized so we need it here as well.

Not off hand, no.
