+20080203
+       + modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
+         for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
+         but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
+       + improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
+         using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
+         further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
+         Chernov).
+       + modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
+         If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
+         sequence.
+
+20080126
+       + improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
+         handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
+         or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
