This is probably because CURSES thinks that the display will scroll
if it printed in the lower right corner.  If in fact it *is* possible
to print in the lower right corner without scrolling the screen then
you will need to tell CURSES through your terminfo entry.  (Since I
normally use termcap I don't know the terminfo parameter name off hand).
