        !            29: Yup, the bug exists in Ultrix 2.2 as well.  I have reported this bug to
        !            30: DEC support every time we get a new release.  I assume that my bug reports
        !            31: are getting filed (in the circular file).
        !            32: 
        !            33: It is clear that whoever made this "fix" at DEC had no understanding
        !            34: of curses whatsoever.  As in the earlier posting, the bug can be fixed
        !            35: by replacing the definitions of the nl() and nonl() macros in curses.h with:
        !            36: 
        !            37: #define nl()    (_tty.sg_flags |= CRMOD,_pfast = _rawmode,stty(_tty_ch, &_tty))

        !            43:       understanding is that they have no plans to fix this bug, as curses
        !            44:       is now "owned" by some group in England, who is working on a port of the
        !            45:       terminfo curses for Ultrix 2.4.  I'm just pissed that my bug reports
        !            46:       submitted for Ultrix 1.2 and 2.0 were ignored.
