bug filed, probably happens to Alpha alone

The bug is with the old bsd-game of cribbage.  I don't have an x86 
Gentoo kit, just my Alpha.  The bugs.gentoo.org info said if it's not 
x86, then add the architecture team to the CC list.  So, I did, weeks later.
It's Bug 537010.
It seems strange that an ancient, text-based game wouldn't work right. 
Maybe it's too old?  I reported that the Gentoo game plays correctly in 
Debian alpha, but neither plays right in Gentoo.
Obviously, bsd-games are not critical, necessary programs.  Still, I 
like that old cribbage game.

Is there anyone else with a Gentoo alpha that has tried bsd-games and 
seen a problem with cribbage?

Note:  When I emerged the latest ncurses (which made no difference) it 
reported errors, but still installed.  It said not to bother Gentoo with 
that stuff, because it's an upstream problem.  So, if it's a problem 
with something similar, I'll shut up.  I'm crossing my fingers and 
hoping it's something easily fixed.

Adios,  DW
