 This does not seem right:
 
 1. The "area" argument is not an argument to terminal_alloc(), but to =
 tgetstr() which takes as the third argument a char **. In fact you =
 should get a warning if you remove the &.
 2. The initialization is extraneous since the area argument is only =
 supposed to be used as scratch space in tgetstr().
 
 What might be happening, is that tgetstr() writes to the id argument on =
 linux?
