Another curses bug

[Super User]

Looks like setupterm() cannot be used with the large memory model. A core
dump results when any of the following calls are made:
setupterm(NULL, 1, NULL), or setupterm(getenv("TERM"), 1, NULL), or
setupterm(getenv("TERM"), 1, &err). The recommended usage, namely
setupterm(0, 1, 0), also results in a core dump, but this is not too
surprising.

Unfortunately, it also appears that curses is not very useful in the
Microport environment, for screens are often not updated correctly
when they are refreshed (this has been verified by running programs
that employ curses, and that work fine in other environments).
