   It fails for me also.  I took the binary that runs ok on 1.0.2 and it fails 
   under 1.1.  I then recompiled under 1.1 and it still fails.

   I had tried mskermit and ncsa telnet in both cases and got the same results 
   with both programs.

   curses seems cursed under 1.1

I don't ever use curses, and all I can say is that it works for all
the applications I've tried.  We're a free software project, and we
can't advance if people aren't willing to put some time into _fixing_
these problems as well as reporting them (though I'm more than
appreciative of both types of contributions, just more appreciative
of the kind that come with fixes! :-).  We don't ask for donations of
money, but we do appreciate your help!

If somebody would like to look into this and possibly send me a patch,
I'll be more than happy to try to get it into the next release!
