Hi, i stumbled over this bug, too, and write to ask what the state of resolution is. The libncurses5-dbg is not distributed with --disable-leaks, at time of writing.
If no semantic issues are know i would suggest not only to build the debugging library with --disable-leaks, but the production libraries, as well, to allow to build memory balanced applications and up-stream libraries.
