Package: ncurses-base
Version: 1.9.9g-1

I use an old, 1.9.x version of ncftp built with ncurses3.0.  Since I
upgraded to ncurses-base 1.9.9g-1, ncftp puts the screen into bold and
leaves it there, even after exiting.  With the old version of
ncurses-base, ncftp would correctly only display selected information
in bold and then switch back to normal.

I can't reproduce this, either on the console or in an xterm.  It
probably won't help, but perhaps you can upgrade to 1.9.9g-2, which is
going into Incoming even as I write.  If it still happens, let me know.

Actually, let me be more specific:  I can't reproduce this using my
home-compiled 2.4.2, also built with ncurses3.0.  I don't have access to
ncftp 1.9.x, so I can't check that.

I tried the binary, and found the bug.  *sigh*  Okay.

The obvious thing to do at this point would be to rebuild ncftp with
3.4, and see if the problem goes away.  If it does, then it's a 3.0 bug
that got fixed.  If not...depending on how you look at it, the linux
entry is wrong, or the way ncftp handles it is wrong.  I'm grabbing the
1.9.5 sources, and will give it a try.
