I'm trying to get ncftp 2.0.2 working on OSF/1 3.0.
Ncftp 2.x uses curses to implement a full-screen mode.
After calling your PAGER to view a file, it has you press Return,
then calls wrefresh() to redisplay the main (non-pager) screen.
At this point, it SEGVs.
I've tried running it under various conditions, including running as root,
and on terminal types 'xterm' and 'vt100', with the same result.
It works fine on my other test platform, Solaris 2.4.
Here's the trace (munged through fold -w 72):
signal Segmentation fault at [wnoutrefresh:184 ,0x3ff80277ac0]
Source not available
(dbx) where
> 0 wnoutrefresh(0x140000318, 0x0, 0x140027580, 0x1, 0x140006dc8) ["../
../../../../src/usr/ccs/lib/libcurses/wnoutrfrsh.c":184, 0x3ff80277ac0]

2 RestoreScreen(pressKey = 1) ["Win.c":130, 0x120027618]
Has anyone seen this sort of thing before? Does anyone know of a patch
or workaround? (Or a good freeware curses implementation that works on OSF/1?)
