Thanks, but keypad is used for keyboard input, and this thread is about
screen output.  Besides, last time I checked, the keypad bug was specific
to xterm and could not be reproduced on rxvt with the same TERM, so any
misinterpretation of terminfo can be probably ruled out.

It's just a matter of linking with with static non-optimized ncurses and
running keypad() through the debugger.  I don't expect it to be very hard,
unless we are forced to reimplement some parts of ncurses.
