I have disabled both "cud" and "cud1" in the terminfo description without
any luck. It seems to me that no matter what I do, curses will always
use the LF at the end of each text line to move the cursor down to the
next line. Can anyone tell me exactly what happens when curses "redraws" the
screen? Is it doing a "cursor home", "clear screen", "print #LINES lines",
using the EOL-LF to move into the next line?
