Re: tn5250 0.17.1 crash on "graphics" data

[Sean Porterfield <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just in case I've confused people, I don't know where I came up with version 
0.17.1 (guess I saw somebody else use that number?).  I downloaded my code from 
CVS and it says 0.16.0pre1

Also, in my case I could press F12 and get back to query and exit out.  It was 
pressing page down to view the next screen where I actually had the crash.  The 
message line at the bottom of the screen showed the error from the AS/400 (and 
I could press F1 on that and see the error message detail.)

OT - no, I didn't have time to look through DBG.  We're swamped with work right 
now!
