Hmmm... OOPS is the classic error return code from UNIX curses tgoto.
Could something between TERM, TERMCAP, termcap, and the fancy NeXT
stuff be confusing it?  I don't know NeXT, but it looks like OOPS is
being output from the tgoto, and "Hack needs CL." is an error message
detected after the fact and without a \n after the tgoto output.
BTW, CL could refer to an extended termcap attribute, such as CO and
CF for cursor on/off on some UNIX systems.
