Cribbage locks up before gameplay can begin

[David Calman]

It will not respond to further input at all, will not progress to gameplay after cutting the cards, and I have to exit with Ctrl-C.
This even happens in xterm.

What I expected to happen: I'd actually be able to play a game of cribbage against the computer.

What I got instead: Game never starts, cut the cards and then...nothing. Apparently it invokes More because there's a --More-- thing after the "who goes first" message, which is the last one I see.
