Hmm.

It always says that :) (unless you've messed with stty, I guess)

Not as far as my memory of curses goes.  From the man page:

       The setupterm routine reads in the terminfo database,
       initializing the terminfo structures, but does not set up the
       output virtualization structures used by curses.

What platform are you on?
