Package: ncurses-base
Version: 5.4-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I want to report a regression.  I often ssh into a remote Debian box.  
>From time to time I use a Windows box for that.  The ssh command line 
client I use is the one from cygwin.com.

When issuing the top command in the remote terminal, there is a blank 
line inserted after every line which makes top permanently scroll off 
and refresh the screen (issue with CR&LF misinterpretation?).  This 
works just fine in Woody, but not after upgrading to sarge, so there is 
a regression somewhere.

Please excuse me for perhaps reporting this to the wrong package.  The 
inner workings of this are not at all clear to me.  My research made me 
believe that it might have to do with some mistake in terminfo which 
AFAIK holds the information on how different terminals are handled.  
/usr/share/terminfo/c/cygwin belongs to ncurses-base.  Such is my 
reasoning to report it here.

I should make you aware that this problem has also been reported to 
procps as bug 274251.  I am not sure what this may have to do with 
procps and the bug has just been sitting there for the last couple of 
months.

Best regards

Rolf Leggewie
