Re: next question - with-keyboard not working

 >      sudo apt-get  install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
The solution turned out to be (fedora 21)
  yum install ncurses-devel
I already had ncurses installed.
Thanks for helping with that.

    $ cat .hg/hgrc
    [paths]
    default = http://hg.code.sf.net/p/clisp/clisp

I had
default = http://clisp.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/clisp/clisp

Changing it to your value solves my previous problem of
  clisp hg pull not working
So thanks for the solution to that problem also.
However it looks like the references to hg on http://www.clisp.org/ 
ought to be updated too.

This stuff
   not trusting file /home/don/hg/clisp/.hg/hgrc from untrusted user don,
   group don
was due to running hg as root instead of don

Now I seem to be ready to return to the problem that led me to the
with-keyboard problem.  

Let me know if you have any ideas about this one:

 Break 1 IQ[3]> :e
 The last error:string too long: desired length 5242880 exceeds the
 supported maximum length

 Break 1 IQ[3]> where
 <1/841> #<SYSTEM-FUNCTION PRINC>
 [839] EVAL frame for form (PRINC (COMMON-LISP:1+ WINDOWS::LINE)
 WINDOWS::*SCREEN*)
 Break 1 IQ[3]> (eq windows::*screen* lisp::*terminal-io*)
 T

(BTW the value of *terminal-io* has not been changed - it's the
same as the original *terminal-io*)

I'm still trying to generate a small example, but it sure looks like
writing to terminal-io is trying to record all that's been written in
a string, and after I've written about 5M characters I get a string too
long error.  If I "redo" it seems to recover for another 5M characters.
Sometimes the error occurs in write-char or some other low level output 
function.  This is using the generic stream facility, and I think that
has something to do with the problem because simply writing characters
to *terminal-io* doesn't cause the error.

Sorry I seem to be so full of problems recently (one more to go after
this one).
