I took the distribution as it came over comp.sources.games, built Hotel,
and it ran fine.  I've gotten a couple of messages from other people who
haven't had any problems.

I'd suggest looking at the code to try and locate the problem.  There isn't
anything tricky - I'm not, for instance, using separate curses windows for
the text and board output (there's something that actually doesn't work 
in curses, incidentally).  There's just a "move" right before the text is 
output.  If that move has no effect on your systems, I really can't explain
it.
