Use the 1.5.3 more. The 1.5.3 commands are much more stable than the
1.5.0 ones. Also try to inclrease memory if you haven't done so.
Be sure to say
TERM=minix
export TERM 
somewhere in your .profile
Take care that you have /etc/termcap and that it has an entry for minix

I seem to recall this is fixed in 1.5.3 too.

I don't know any more about 1.5.0, but the 1.5.3 one works in
conjunction with the 1.5.3 kernel.

Better upgrade to 1.5.3 first.
I just retested all of the commands and found a few small flaws which
will be corrected in the next release of ast. Stay tuned.
All these problems are minor.

Good luck.
