Re: [zile-devel] Cygwin-bug#20050117T1210: [serious] zile: terminal screen layout error

[Reuben Thomas]

Thanks for the bug report.

It looks as though some termcap strings are missing, in particular 
cm (which is stored in cm_string). Zile should really give up if that is 
not available.

You could help by changing tgetstr_safe in term_termcap.c to read 
something like:

static char *tgetstr_safe(const char *cap, char **tcap)
{
        char *s = tgetstr(cap, tcap);
        fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s\n", cap, s);
        return s ? s : "";
}

and tell me what strings you get. I'm guessing the crash is caused by an 
empty string too, though I'm not sure where yet.
