        That presumeably is due to this in LYCurses.c:
        
[...]
#else /* Unix: */
    static BOOLEAN first_time = TRUE;

    if (first_time) {
        /*
         *  If we're not VMS then only do initsrc() one time,
         *  and one time only!
         */
        if (initscr() == NULL) {  /* start curses */
[...]

        If that were changed to be more like what is being done for
VMS curses and slang, I suspect it would work better, but Lou was
adament about that, as the comment indicates, so I was never
motivated to change it.
