Since the latest update of libncurses, I get a lot of segfaults of
programs linking against libncurses. As I haven't seen this behaviour
before the libncurses update, my guess is that it's a ncurses bug.
My dmesg shows e.g.
yes - I caught that the next day -
20090607
+ fix a regression in lib_tputs.c, from ongoing merges.
(past that point, I've not seen any breakage, though the change to
wadd_wch this weekend is large...)
