I tried to build a native GNU-WIN32 version of the VI clone VIM.
It compiled but exhibited the same behavior -that is the program 
started, displayed 'Empty Buffer' and completely locked up.  I 
haven't gotten any further on this yet.   Since both ports show the 
same problem, maybe this points to a problem in the termcap 
code?
