I've been aware of this problem for months but haven't gotten around
to fixing it yet. olc_answers, olh, moira, techinfo, etc. all seg
fault because Linux curses is buggy as Hell. The right (actually, the
only) solution is to rebuild them with ncurses, but the programming
interface is not exactly the same (i.e. some porting is involved) and
it's been very low on my todo list, since I like to use clients with
simpler interfaces anyway. (i.e. I use blanche, not moira.)
This should be fixed at some point.
