[Info-ingres] Problems with PuTTY and prompt

[Ingres Forums]

Abf application uses the prompt command like so:

w_auth_nm        = char(30)      not null with default,
w_length           = integer2      not null with default,    
w_text               = char(50)      not null with default,

w_auth_nm = '';
w_text = '';
message '( changes can only be author' +
'ized by xxxxxxxxxx contacts.  xxxxxx cannot' +
' authorize a change.) ' with style=popup;

w_text = 'Enter Authorizing party''s name:';
w_length = 0;

while w_length < 3 do
w_deductible_auth_nm
= prompt :w_text
with style = menuline;

message 'here 0' with style=popup;

w_length = ifnull(length(:w_auth_nm),0);
endwhile;


When using PuTTY, the application dies with Memory fault, program
terminated. and does not reach the 'here 0' message.

But it works with telnet.

Does anybody know of any issues with the prompt command OR with PuTTY
that may cause this type of behavior?
