Interesting. I'm using trn regularly on FreeBSD-{2.0.5,current}, and
i've never seen these problems. Okay, i arguably don't use shell
escapes at all (why should i, that i've got ^Z?), but i've never seen
the initscr problem, and 99.9 % of all my trn sessions are under
xterm.
Do you have some more data on how to reproduce the bug?

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
