| Is there a known curses problem with nethack 3.2.1 ?!
| Did somebody else try to play nethack 3.2.1 on the console ?!
| Try throwing objects, the screen is in a mess after that,
| redrawing the screen with ^r or ^l doesn't help !
One thing you can try to fix it temporarily is to exit into a shell
with `!' and return. What this does is some terminal driver shutdown
and restart, which somehow sets the terminal in the correct mode. A
more permanent but not neccesarily correct fix is to change
tty_init_nhwindows() in $TOP/win/tty/wintty.c to mimic the shell
escape code.

I mailed nethack-bugs@linc.cis.upenn.edu about this problem, but we
never settled about the nature of this problem.
