Hi,

The mach console has a small bug concerning auto-margin capability
(terminfo "am" capability):

echo -n 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 ; sleep 10

should _not_ open a new line, but on the mach console it does. If
fixing it is too hard, the terminfo information may just be updated to
express the behavior, by replacing the "am" capability by the "sam"
capability. But such capability is rare (I actually can't find any
example in ncurses' terminfo.src file), so it's just asking for programs
not to handle that.

Regards,
Samuel
