9519.0. "cbreak causes memory fault in unix v3.2*" by RHETT::LOH () Wed Apr 16 1997 10:26

    
    Hi,
    
    The following program works on Digital unix v4.0*, but got a memory
    fault on v3.2*.  If I commented out the cbreak() statement, 
    the program runs fine.  Is this a known bug with cbreak()
    in unix v3.2*?
    
    Thanks,
    Lannie

            while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
                    putchar(c);
            }
    }

    The "curses" man page states that you should use "initscr()" before
    using any curses function. Calling initscr before cbreak makes
    the fault on 3.2 go away. Don't know why it seems to work on 4.0.

    Thanks for the reply.  Is this a bug in v4.0x?
