[net.unix] Curses screen package -- a bug?

chavez@harvard.UUCP (R. Martin Chavez) (03/22/84)

	Has anyone out there discovered any unusual problems
with the curses package?  I have a menu-driven program that
works perfectly on a lightly loaded system but messes up as
the system slows down.  Sometimes the program will incorrectly
finish updating a screen; the last three letters of the last
word will simply not appear, even though the program is waiting
for input (which usually shouldn't happen until the update
finishes.)  I had NEVER noticed this problem until I tried
out the program on a very heavily loaded 11/780 running 4.1bsd.
The bug is probably in my code, but I have no idea where to
start looking.  Please post to the net or reply to me directly.
			Thanks,

What version?  The original version that came with 4.1?  Or did someone come
up with the 4.2 curses set on your system?

That bug doesn't ring a bell off hand.
