That is because of a (depressingly trivial) mistake in the way I handle the flash capability when terminfo is defined: I *copy* it into the space being occupied by the `bell' capability. But with terminfo, both `flash' and `bell' are just pointers into a large array - which unfortunately also contains the `clear screen' escape sequence etc. :-( The bug will be fixed by patch #5 which also has a `visible-bell' variable you can unset if you want to eliminate the flashing screen, when the flash capability is defined. -- Kim F.
