I put a patch to ncursesinput.c into the CVS today to fix this, it should be available
in today's (Saturday) nightly build.
Apparently the problem was ncurses insisting on updating the screen when a keystroke
was recieved. I saw no way to disable this behavior in ncurses (at least without
messing up the ncurses video driver) but forcing ncurses to update right away after
loading it will keep it quiet from then on.
If you have future problems with screen updating, note that you can compile the server
with debug keys on and press CTRL-ALT-Y to repaint the video.
