    Problem Summary PG4U.00171 The implementation's newterm() function alters the setting of ICANON.
    Problem Text
    This submittal is for getnstr #17
    getstr #17
    mvgetnstr #17
    mvgetstr #17
    mvwgetnstr #17
    mvwgetstr #17

    wgetstr #17

    This request was originally refused as PG4U.00157. I have gone back and
    dug a little deeper to understand when ICANON is getting turned off
    after being initially being set in the curs_prep module.
    ICANON is turned off by the call to newterm() in avsstart_curses().
    Per the spec for newterm() (found in the description under initscr() )
    it states "It is unspecified whether Curses modifies the buffering mode
    of these file pointers." On our implementation is does modify ICANON,
    and this is conforming behaviour.

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    The buffering mode of a file pointer is an attribute of a file stream.
    This is separate from ICANON which is an input mode of a file descriptor.
    That is, the spec allows a conforming implementation to alter the assignment
    of buffering to the file stream but this does not bear on the implementation
    under test's behavior of altering ICANON on the underlying file descriptor,
    which is nonconforming.
