System: NetBSD Gstoder 6.0_BETA NetBSD 6.0_BETA (MONOLITHIC) #0: Thu Apr 5 14:00:58 CEST 2012 hf@Hochstuhl:/var/obj/netbsd-builds/6/i386/sys/arch/i386/compile/MONOLITHIC i386
Architecture: i386

>Description:

	On netbsd-6, XEmacs 21.4.22 (editors/xemacs package) comes up
	in terminal mode (xemacs -nw') with an offset, see
	<http://la.causeuse.org/hauke/NetBSD/xemacs-netbsd6.xwd.bz2>
	- display with xwud(1).

	Before netbsd-6, XEmacs worked just fine on NetBSD.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Build editors/xemacs on netbsd-6 (or current), run 'xemacs -nw'.

>Fix:
	As a workaround, depending the package on ncurses helps. But
	NetBSD curses has always been good enough for XEmacs, and it
	wasn't XEmacs that changed.

 This is a known issue with emacs and terminfo vs. termcap, but I can't
 remember what causes it or what the fix is.

 I believe you need to tell emacs at configure time that it's using
 terminfo, and then it'll behave.
