I can't think of anything that's changed recently that would screw up
curses.  I've linked my port of bash-1.12 with the latest libs, and
while its not a fullscreen app or whatever, its readline stuff seems
OK and I think that uses curses.

I'll try out some fullscreen stuff tonight or tomorrow and follow
up...

What was the library version you were using when your app last worked
correctly (did you skip any patchlevels?)

cheers,
