Not hugely surprising; I don’t see the behaviour the change fixes on 21.4,
and indeed the bug in question isn’t there on 21.4.

Okay. One thing to look into when you have time is if building with another
library, or without a curses library entirely fixes the relevant behaviour;
my dimly-remembered experience has been that --with-ncurses=no made for more
reasonable behaviour on one of Linux, Solaris and OS X.
