NetBSD arm-netbsd.cmeerw.net 11.0_RC4 NetBSD 11.0_RC4 (GENERIC64) #0: Tue May 12 04:23:51 UTC 2026  mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/GENERIC64 evbarm

>Description:
jed-0.99.19nb2       Extensible folding editor with Emacs/WordStar/EDT emulations
libslang-2.3.3       Routines for rapid alpha-numeric terminal applications development

EDITOR=jed crontab -e

jed is loaded but then stops with something like "Stopped (tty output)"

Process shows as

22604 pts/0 T    0:00.03 jed /tmp/crontab.R0jw0BNzAK 

Not sure what the exact issue is here, but getting the latest jed snapshot (jed-pre0.99.20-201.tar.gz) from https://www.jedsoft.org/snapshots/ and compiling that works fine (except for adding a !defined(__NetBSD__) in src/pty.c where there already is a !defined(__FreeBSD__))

>How-To-Repeat:
EDITOR=jed crontab -e

>Fix:
Updating jed to a 0.99.20 snapshot seems to work
