On SCO Xenix 286, at patchlevel 5, what used to be a nuisance is
now a real problem:

It used to be that the sources had to be hacked slightly so
that the "delay" attempts didn't leave sh*t on the screen, but
now the code has to be hacked (in the same manner) to avoid
the code _core dumping_ whenever the delay routine is called
(typically when anything is thrown or kicked across a room).

In termcap.c in delay_output() there needs to be a special
case for #ifdef M_XENIX  /* do nothing */ rather than some
kind of bogus attempt to waste time.
