SubjectRe: 2.0.36's "make menuconfig" broken on my system

I can't comment on the bug you're experiencing since I've no idea what
it is. All I can report is that the bug that I was experiencing no
longer exists, and I have no problem using "make menuconfig" from an
xterm on my system, as stated above...

If you'd care to describe your setup, I can compare it to mine, and
that should cut out a few variables - anything (outside the kernel
itself) that we have in common is unlikely to be where the problem
is...

Best wishes from Riley.
