Putty and wrapping on SunOS 5.9

I am very frustrated with this. I've added the following into my .profile and .bashrc:

Code:
#this one makes sure that long commands strings line wrap to the next line
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

#instead of wrapping onto the start of the same line.
shopt -s checkwinsize

However, it just never works for me. Whenever I type a long command, it manages to wrap on the same line while overwriting text. I use putty to ssh and I thought it may be something with putty, but I don't know.

My putty settings has something checked that says:
"Auto wrap mode initially on"

The backspace key is set to Control-H
The home and Esc keys are set to Standard
The function keys and keypad are set to ESC[n~
