Is this error still happen? I cant reproduce it on my test box...

[Comment 4 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2004-03-15 19:52:15 UTC]

I've moved ncurses-5.4* to ~sparc to help with this until we have a stable gcc-3.3.x

[Comment 5 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2004-03-26 20:17:26 UTC]

As gcc-3.3.3 is now stable, please test and see if ncurses-5.4-r1 works for you now.  I've tested here and all seems good.

[Comment 6 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2004-04-28 21:20:37 UTC]

Marking as resolved:fixed as this problem no longer seems to exist.  Feel free to re-open if it's still a problem for you.
