Subject: Bug in rn patch 48 with "-L" option?

Last week I installed patch level 48 on my A/UX system. I'm running a
completely vanilla rn, which works just fine under A/UX, except for a one-line
addition to init.c which makes rn capable of dealing with job control under
A/UX.
 
Now some users are complaining that rn isn't painting their screens right.
I poked around and found out that the "-L" option, which tells rn not to
clear the screen before drawing the next page, is now broken. It seems that
previously, it would clear to the end of the line when it was drawing new
lines, and that now it no longer does.
 
The intro to patch 50 seemed to imply that it would fix this, but just today
I installed patches 49 and 50. No change.

Any ideas?
