I don't suppose you're running on an 8-bit display? The method
blackbox uses to do wireframe movement has been known not to
work so well on 8-bit displays.

Well, there is now (I hope). Per Jim Knoble's suggestion, the most
recent cvs snapshot (20000726) includes a snprintf implementation
borrowed from the most recent portable OpenSSH. Assuming I didn't
screw up the build process, Blackbox should now build even on
systems without snprintf. (If it doesn't, let me know.)

Check out www.mail-archive.com -- there should be two archives there,
one for the old list at troll.no and one for the current incarnation
