mysql / printw row[1]

[Claudiu Captari]

i have the following code

  while (row = mysql_fetch_row(res))
     {
      erase();
       printw("DESCRIPTION:%s\n",row[1]);
      ....
     }

when row[1] contains only 1 line without no more newlines ... it prints
correctly that line..

when it contains more than 1 line it prints blank lines equal to the
number of lines in row[0]


why is it doing this?
note that if i'm not using ncurses , and only printf, everything works
fine !
what am i doing wrong?
