[gopher] Re: Gopher novice question

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a new bug as far as I know.  Can I get some information:

 * Linux distribution 
 * C library version
 * ncurses version

Also, can you try using a program such as strace or gdb to pinpoint the
problem location?  If you need help with them, let me know.
