Subject: 3.92 bug(let)

I dont know if this is OS/2 port specific or a general bug in 3.92.

Occasionally I see a letter in a message that I am reading replaced by a
space. Refreshing the screen with ^L gets the letter back.

Hmm, neither do I.

PineOS2's video subsystem is uniq to itself (ie. it is all
very OS/2 specific), but I don't know of anything that could
cause this, off-hand.

Is it easily reproducable?

Just a suggestion:

When pine checks mail it moves the cursor up to the top of the screen
then back to the previous location.  Maybe the space is the side
effect of this action.
