OK, I'll do that. As a side note, is ncurses smart enough to only output
to the terminal the info that has changed, instead of the whole screen?

I'm not sure if you looked at the strace I sent in. Oddly enough, it
picks up on the strange char's being written to stdout. The confusing 
thing to me is the fact that I know more is written to the terminal than 
what is displayed in the strace output. I can't figure out why it's not
in there. Attached is the output.
