Hi,

Ever since the libtermcap / libncurses consolidation, change emacs has
problems positioning the cursor and properly updating the screen for
character-only devices like the console.  It also affects the display
in an xterm in non-X mode, i.e., when DISPLAY is *not* set.

This is emacs 20.4, by the way on current as of yesterday.  I've tried
emacs from packages as well as a freshly built one from the ports and
both exhibit the problem.

Note that emacs works fine when it brings up is own window due to
DISPLAY being set.

Has anyone else seen this and already have a fix or know for sure
whether this is an emacs bug or a FreeBSD bug?

Thanks,
-Brian
