RE: lynx-dev Spawning an external curses-based program

[Umar Qureshey]

Ok here's big clue (I think):  Instead of launching my ncurses-based app, I
launched the ncurses.c test program and that seems to be working fine.  So,
this means that whatever problem there is, it is internal to my app.  Does
this make sense?

Still guessing - looking for a clue...  Let's see - you don't have anything
like strace on that platform (which could show the actual system calls),
right?

The only bug that I recall related to initialization in lynx is this
chunk from recent fixes - but it shouldn't prevent ncurses from
initializing;

#if (!defined(WIN_EX) || defined(__CYGWIN__))   /* @@@ */
        if(LYscreen || lynx_called_initscr) {
            endwin();   /* stop curses */
            LYDELSCR();
        }
#endif
