stty size doesn't work



I doubt this is zsh's problem but she may have a solution just the same.  I do this in my 'i' function:

    width=${=$( stty size )[2]}

... and it works fine, however if I call the function thusly:

_function_test ()
{
    local integer i=0
    while read aa; do
        let i++
        eval ${=aa} 2> /dev/null
    done
}

    $ _function_test <<< "i path"

... 'width' is zero.  I think this is some 'stty' issue, still the function will be running in a terminal and the terminal has a width so it puzzles me that no width can be reported.
