Hi Tom,
Thanks for the report! It's nice to have another system "supported", at
least technically.

The ncurses field stuff is some hellish bullshit that I hate with all my
heart. It may very well be a locale problem... I really don't want to
debug it.

If it's not too much work to clean up, I'd be interested in this patch.
The field buffer stuff is broken in weird ways anyways (the history
never seems to be quite right), and anything that reduces the reliance
on ncurses is always the right approach.

Submit a patch! I'm fine with this.

Hm, this is a trickier one. Allegedly the //IGNORE reduces the
exceptions thrown by Iconv, but since we're catching them all anyways,
we might be able to get away with removing this. Or we could
special-case it to your arch.
