[Bug 465530] [NEW] Robots does not handle screen refresh requests

[tdenniston]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bsdgames

The classic screen refresh character ^L (Ctrl-L) isn't handled properly
by robots.  To see an example of this, run a background script to
produce interference, and try refreshing the screen with ^L.

#!/bin/sh
while true; do
  sleep 5
  echo This is external interference.  Refresh your screen.
done;

Run that in the background, and then play robots.  Try to refresh with
^L and it does not fully refresh.

A simple patch for this is to add a line in robots/move.c:187

"case CTRL('L'):
    redrawwin(curscr); // ADD THIS LINE
    refresh();
    break;
"
