Has anyone built under RISCos 4.52 a correctly working up-to-date
version of the spreadsheet calculator 'sc' (version 6.15 available via
FTP from pc.usl.edu)? I've found that:
Everything compiles cleanly using -systype sysv, but when the resulting
executable is run from within an rlogin or telnet session the arrow keys
don't reliably work. When not within an rlogin or telnet session, arrow
keys work fine! This difference is not due to any change in stty settings.
Everything compiles cleanly using -systype bsd43, but the resulting
executable immediately dumps core (with a segmentation violation)
within a (valid) call to the curses routine 'printw'.
I suspect that new bugs have crept into the curses library somewhere
between 3.10 and 4.52.
