I tried porting an editor written under HP/UX. There I used the Curses
library, and thus expected the port with the EMX Curses library to run well.
After simulating some missing screen attributes (why the hell does the EMX
Curses not support A_BLINK etc... ?) the code was compilable. But to my surprise
I got a core dump when inputting something with scanw. Trying to track the
problem down with gdb, I found out that an integer loop variable seemed to be
corrupted.

All this code ran well on the HP machine, so a programming error is unlikely.
Has anyone a similar experience with the BSD Curses library, and how was the
problem to solve?

Thanks for any hints!
