I've run this program under syscons using the TERM=ansi and
TERM=cons25. In the ansi case the problem goes away. I've also run
this port in an MS-Kermit 3.11 vt320 terminal window using TERM=vt100,
same thing, no problems. Just the cons25 termcap entry. I'll grovel
through the termcap entry tommorow...
