 It's easy to reproduce one of the bugs.  Try the appended code with the
 "old" curses library, and with the current library with and without
 LC_CTYPE in the environment.
 
 With the current library and without LC_CTYPE set, the 'ö' (0xf6) character
 is not displayed.  This is probably because a call to wc_width() returned 0,
 so the library did not display the character.

 #include <curses.h>
 
 int
 main ()
 {
 	initscr();
 	move(0, 0);
 	addstr("Löschen");
 	move(1, 0);
 	addstr("-------");
 	refresh();
 	getch();
 	endwin();
 	return 0;
 }
   - - 8< - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cut here - - - - - - - - - - - - - >8 - -
