Huh?  I tried using CVS with SSH from PASE, and it worked fine.

Correct, it won't work from QP2TERM under a 5250 emulator.  That's why I 
suggested using Putty...

I'm way beyond this point already.  I have tn5250 compiled on PASE.  I 
didn't need to muck with autoconf, I just changed the name of the 
pointers in the Tn5250Stream structure.  Seemed easier, and then it can 
run exactly the same on all systems.

Strangely, I didn't run into any issues with malloc or snprintf.  I 
wonder what I did differently?

I _am_ running into issues with it not finding the .tn5250rc file, 
though... and I can't see why...   still looking into it.
