This is the so-called WGETCH_BROKE problem.  Define that pre-processor
definition in config.h and recompile.

BTW:  The current version of Pcomm is v1.2.6.  Patch #7 will be posted
to comp.sources.bugs this weekend.  Both the "posted version" of Pcomm
(version 1.2.4) and patches 5 and 6 are available via anonymous ftp from
cerl.cecer.army.mil (129.229.1.101).
