I had the same problem about a year ago, and posted the same request.

Ken Arnold replied (paraphrasing) that getstr() and its close
relatives were not used by anyone when he did his development, and
thus they had never been fully debugged.

I think your best bet is to:
	do your own I/O parsing with getch()   or
	fix getstr() yourself.

I used the former 'fix'.
