new ncurses bug ?
Not sure if this is a bug in dselect, more likey to be one in
ncurses.
With TERM=xterm, cursor keys stop working after using '/' to search
for something. Fine if TERM=linux.
Doesn't seem to happen on chiark or padded.sel, but happens on
myrddin.chu and valour.pem.
I've just recently upgraded my ncurses to ELF ncurses, and the xterm
terminfo entry has changed:
520c7a3d928744bc2937f14555e1582e valour
d8baf37e74fab11296b1b40aa4e70236 myrddin
20c769d0023775fc8de18be96e2961ef padded
20c769d0023775fc8de18be96e2961ef chiark
Also, /etc/terminfo on my system is a real directory, on the 3 others,
it's a symlink to /usr/lib/terminfo.
