I still think the stop_curses should have been done within getfile();
and if I understand you right, that should include the eth_release,
and possibly other calls necessary.  Could you check whether curses
has indeed been already turned off at that point?  (LYCursesON should
be FALSE.)  If not, something's wrong in getfile.
