>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-970618-SNAP i386
>Environment:
	Using zsh-3.0.2 in an xterm under XF86_S3 3.3
	(although this will happen in almost any terminal I think)

>Description:
	After using anything which uses libdialog (or the code from it)
	the terminal state isn't properly restored.

>How-To-Repeat:
	dialog --infobox "Go reset your terminal" 3 35

	(or use anything like sysinstall or whatever)

>Fix:
	Obvious! Save inital term state and restore it afterwards.
	(There's a lot of places this needs to be done though.)
