curses problem

[Michael Cooper]

I posted an article a couple of weeks ago on this, but never got any
response.  Probably because our news link (sdcrdcf) was down for a while
and things might have gotten mungled.

I'm having this problem with curses and trying to get a string.  I've
tried using the standard getstr(), but despite what it says in the
documents and the code itself (as far as I could tell) about ending
the str with a newline, it does not work for me.  getstr() just keeps
on reading 'em on in.  Nothing short of killing the process will get me out
of it.  I haven't run into this one before.   Is this a standard curses
bug?  Any ideas around it?

Thanks in advance....
