>Description:
Nano 1.2.4 shows several strange behaviors when compiled with the regular BSD 
curses library.  Among these are:

* Crashes when resizing an Xterm vertically by three rows or more.

* Screen becomes garbled when resizing horzontally.

* Cursor at upper right corner of terminal on startup.  Press ^L or any key and 
it goes where it's supposed to be.

Incidentally, all previous versions of Nano compiled through pkgsrc on NetBSD 
that I'm aware of have shown the third bug.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Add the following lines to editors/nano/Makefile:

INCOMPAT_CURSES=        NetBSD-1.4* NetBSD-1.5* NetBSD-1.6[-_.]*
INCOMPAT_CURSES+=       NetBSD-1.6[A-Z]-* NetBSD-1.6Z[A-C]*
