[Bug 398388] Re: rc-scripts termput handling broken when on serial console

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

Changing

[ -z "$COLUMNS" ] && COLUMNS=80

to

[ -z "$COLUMNS" -o "$COLUMNS" -lt 0 ] && COLUMNS=80

fixes things.

Bug description:

When using rc-scripts over a serial console (additionally this is via ipmi)
I get errors on console. It was introduced after some changes by glen in that area
few months ago I think. Unfortunately I don't know which change exactly.
