Whoops, this is my fault, for moving the turn-on-curses up a bunch and
not dealing with the various consequences.
To fix this, go into src/LYMain.c and move the three blocks of code with
the comments:
* Check for a valid HEAD request. - FM
* Check for a valid MIME headers request. - FM
* Check for a valid traversal request. - FM
up above the block with the comment:
* Finish setting up for an INTERACTIVE session.
I'm not including a patch because the patch is 124 lines of nonsense --
zero lines of code actually change, they just get moved.
This may not be the last such consequence...
