Subject: [PATCH] generate-alt-random: wait for SIGWINCH if width/height is 0
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

If width/height (that is, the *pixel* values) are 0, that means we are
early (or that foot is slow) - we’ve managed to reach this point
before the foot window has been mapped.

Or rather, before foot has loaded the primary fonts and calculated the
cell geometry. But that, and the initial mapping of the window is
tightly coupled.

To handle this case, detect when width or height is 0, an then wait
for SIGWINCH before trying again.
