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.
--disable-leaks won't (by itself) free "all" leaks.
For that, you'd need the non-public function which frees all memory.
But doing that, some features of ncurses (like any curses implementation)
would not work. In short the _nc_freeall, etc., are only useful for
debugging, not for a production library.
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.
Thanks,
Lars
