mvcur() function does not work

[Alexey Miheev]

I have tried to use mvcur() function to move the cursor on screen. But
as I see this functions does nothing on major Linux distributions (Red
Hat 4, SuSe 10, Ubuntu 6.06).
LSB 3.1 refers to SUSv2 (The Single UNIX Specification, Version 2) for the
description of the libncurses functions. According to this standard,
the function returns 0 only upon successful completion.

In the following code, mvcur() returns OK, but the visible cursor does
not change its place.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        int res;
        
        initscr();

        getch();
        move(LINES/2, COLS/2);
        getch();
        res=mvcur(LINES/2, COLS/2, 5, 5);
        getch();

        endwin();       
        printf("mvcur() return value was %d\n", res);

        return 0;
}
