Isn't this an ncurses problem and not a FreeBSD problem? If later versions of FreeBSD
aren't vulnerable, its probably only because they have a more recent version of ncurses.
Wouldn't it be more proper to mention the version of _ncurses_ with this problem?

The code is simply imported from:

revision 1.1.1.1
date: 1999/08/24 01:06:35;  author: peter;  state: Exp;  lines: +0 -0
Import unmodified (but trimmed) ncurses 5.0 prerelease 990821.
This contains the full eti (panel, form, menu) extensions.
bmake glue to follow.
