There's also a problem with one of the other functions.  (Forgot
which one it is now).  It is more promising than 1.8.5 was. :)

I believe it was one of the input functions.  I'll play with it some more
tonight and see what's up. (Well, sometime this week.  Working on getting
the login program here at ncsu working under netbsd. :)
