Defect Description:
	PHCO_19494:
	Repackage HP-UX patch PHCO_16847 to VVOS.

	Resolution:
	Repackage HP-UX patch PHCO_16847 to VVOS.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHCO_16847:
	1> 11.00 X/curses library employs inexact floating point
	   operations when a curses application is compiled with
	   +FPI option.

	2> initscr() dumps core when the TERM environment variable
	   is too long. This is due to a buffer overflow in the
	   routine.

	3> X/Open curses do not take care of the 'sgr' entry of the
	   terminfo database, if the ceol_standout_glitch and the
	   magic_cookie_glitch are set in the database. This results
	   in display attributes not being properly set on terminals
	   like hpterm.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHCO_13316:
	The following defects have been addressed by this patch :
	DSDe440030 :
	The call to delwin() coredumps in some remote cases.
	This is basically because of a buffer overflow in the
	library.

	DSDe439831 :
	The seperators between the softlabels disappear. This
	problem is was caused because of the truncation of the
	softlabels that exceed the length-limit (8).
