    Problem Text
    This request addresses two failures:

    CAPIxcurses/fnl/fnl1 3
    CAPIxcurses/fnONL/fnl1 3

    The tests are looking specifically for \nl or \cr cahracters:

    if (s2 != '\n') {
    sprintf(ebuf, "ERROR: getch returned %d, expected newline", s2);
    tet_infoline(ebuf);
    tet_result(TET_FAIL);
    return;
    }

    In our implementation, we simulate newlines with direct cursor addressing
    if the terminal provides that facility. Thus a test looking for the
    \nl or \cr characters, rather than testing the cursor location, will
    fail.

    Review Response
    The analysis given is not accurate. The tests are correct in sending
    control characters and checking they are mapped correctly. Moreover
    this part of the tests is not where the failures are occuring.

    However, the tests also contain code exercising mapping on output.
    This should not be being tested and this code is where the failures
    are occurring.

    We agree this later issue is a test suite deficiency in the test
    suite versions listed.

    Review Conclusion
    This is an agreed Test Suite Deficiency.
