Bug with Curses

Hello?

I've been using Curses at a number of different cites on both VAXen and
suns. It appears that any application linked with curses core-dumps if
the screen is more than 80 col. wide.

Has anybody else run into this? Does anybody know what the fix is? The
only mention of 80 anywhere in the source code that I can find is in
cur_c.c:

	      if (COLS <= 4)
	              COLS = 80;

I refuse to believe that this would make the program dump at wider
screens.

			Confused,

		Simson L. Garfinkel
