I checked a trace file while telnet'ing. stop_curses() is called
from getfile(). Within HTTelnet.c, in function remote_session(),
LYCursesON is FALSE. It isn't clear to me why _eth_release is needed
to allow MSKERMIT to function properly when called from within lynx,
since stop_curses() calls _eth_release. This may be something within
WATT-32, since it wasn't necessary with 2.0 dev.rel.4, but was with
2.0 dev.rel.5. I'll try to look, but perhaps Gisle knows what is
happening. In any case, stop_curses() seems to be called properly from
getfile().
