Greetings!

With the release of ELM 2.3 PL5 I have been bitten by, what I have been
told is an (in)famous bug in the Microport System V/AT 2.4 libcurses.a
regarding the fuction tgetstr.o, causing a Segmentation Violation when
attempting to display a message. My solution was to employ an older
copy of the library, from the 2.3 release, which does not have this bug.
I have been told that there exist numerous software solutions to this
problem. If you know of one, it might serve others well to include
it in the README file, near the diff provided to handle an arithmetic
problem when using the Microport SysV/AT C compiler. Thank you.
