   Ah, well, maybe they'll push those apps out soon after.

   Msged didn't have any problems here, just Golded. Msged doesn't use ANSI line   
   drawing characters, only ASCII, so it's not really affected. Golded, however,   
   even while ncurses was changing those ANSI line drawings to q, x, and a couple   
   other letters, now it's way worse, as in half the screen missing at times.

   Yeah that was it. My BBS software's configuration program also uses ncurses,   
   and looks pretty bad there too.
