Ouch... As far as debugging, Bob & I can't imagine using anything other
than CGDB now!  The painfulness of DDD and others is what inspired us to
work on this. :)

Man... we're both very confused about this.  I'm sorry to say it, but we
haven't come up with a good theory about what could be going wrong with
your setup.  The only thing I'm curious about is what version of ncurses
is installed on the Linux workstation?  I really doubt it's a problem, bu=

I'm grasping at straws.

Bob tested it on a pretty similar setup (SunOS telnetting to Linux) today
and did not reproduce the problem.  I have a feeling it would be very har=
d
to recreate...

At least, for now you can use it in black & white with TERM=3Dvt100, righ=
t?=20
Actually, this is a good point, something to keep in mind for our new
version -- the availability of an optional basic monochrome mode would be
a good thing, I think.  That way you'd have the current line indicator,
and the debugger would be totally usable, just not as pretty.
