Anyway, it sounds as if DK's working around a bug in PDCurses. The
proper place for that fix would be in stop_curses().
On every endwin(), per the spec, PDCurses moves the cursor to the first
column of the last row. However, PDCurses doesn't operate at the stdio
level, so the interaction of stdio calls (printf) with curses calls may
not be as expected (which is why I tell people to avoid mixing them).
It's using the console API, right? Those calls should complete before the
printf happens. If it were using stdio, the fflush in stop_curses() would
do the right thing.
I can't say this isn't a bug in PDCurses, because I haven't tested it; but it
doesn't really sound like it.
or perhaps a limitation of the console API that doesn't appear when I do
the same thing with vile?
