Xenix curses, redirected stdout

I have an application which redirects stdin, stdout and stderr by closing
0,1 and 2 and re-opening as /dev/tty10, which has been disabled for
logins. My application uses curses for windowing.
The program works fine when started from a logged on userid - even as
a background task. My problem is, I would like to start the task
from /etc/rc.d/8/userdef during autoboot. The task starts ok, but the
curses window formatting does not work properly. I have ioctl-ed the
newly opened stdout to have the same features (as derived from stty) as
my logged on tty - still no good.
Any termio experts out there who might help? Thanks.
Mike
