Bug Description
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and my machine is up-to-date with updates. conspy (version 1.8-1) fails completely with this error message:
conspy: screen too large. I only handle up to 200x80.
Given that my VC screen size is set by Ubuntu's choice of font, it seems that the Ubuntu conspy package should be patched to have a limit that is at least as big. My VC is 240 columns wide by 67 lines tall. Given that the font can be changed at run time to an even smaller font, it would probably be a good idea to make conspy handle something closer to 400 by 200. That would likely be big enough for the next few years of display improvements.
Of course, it would be better if conspy would simply allocate a buffer at run time that is big enough for the VC's current font.
