This can happen + when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by + Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418). + + fixes for issues found by Coverity: + + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS() + + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer + use after free. + + improve a limit-check in make_hash.c + + fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c + +20130209 + + modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names + of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in + mingw environment. + + if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is + no corresponding compiled-in value for that.
