I think Craig means that newsbeuter is statically linked against libstfl.

It seems to be bug #617210 in ncurses. At least, changing the offending
code in ncurses' newwin() function back to what is was before 5.8 fixes
the newsbeuter segfault for me (stfl is calling newwin(0, 0, 0, 0) in
stfl_form_run()).
I'll reassign this bug to libncursesw5.
