[enter horn blowing mode]
This fix is (fortunately enough) in the '4.2 BSD libcurses patch kit'
that was posted two weeks ago along with the window manager.
The kit fixes quite a few bugs, and I highly recommend
it to anyone struggling with a mostly-vanilla 4.2 curses.
Unfortunately the patch kit was posted as 'part 4' of WM
so some people may have missed it.
Look for it in your (or a neighbor's) mod.sources newsgroup.
