Lines: 22 I posted an article a couple of weeks ago on this, but never got any response. Probably because our news link (sdcrdcf) was down for a while and things might have gotten mungled. I'm having this problem with curses and trying to get a string. I've tried using the standard getstr(), but despite what it says in the documents and the code itself (as far as I could tell) about ending the str with a newline, it does not work for me. getstr() just keeps on reading 'em on in. Nothing short of killing the process will get me out of it. I haven't run into this one before. Is this a standard curses bug? Any ideas around it?
