If I am remembering correctly you should *insert* the -lcurses in front
of the -ltermcap instead of replacing it.  Seems like there was
something needed from the -ltermcap library, too.

Now, if I could just eliminate the 'IOTrap...coredump' problem on AIX
3.2.3 I could use the binary I get with the above method instead of
having to have a friend build it for me somewhere on a 3.2.4 system.

I won't claim to be an AIXpert, but as far as I can tell, libcurses.a 
is a strict superset of libtermcap.a, at least as far as Pine is 
concerned.

The AIX system I have been testing on is running AIX 3.2.3, though I 
wouldn't vouch for a vanilla installation, and it does not have any 
problem with Pine.  If you could send me a stack trace from a 
coredump, I'll see if I can spot anything.
