Even if there is a bug in the test or in Python that causes newscr to become NULL - why does that not show up in other releases, or on other systems? > Thomas mentioned after seeing an ltrace: > > Perhaps it's failing on that: > > curses.setupterm(fd=sys.__stdout__.fileno()) > > That would have newscr null.

At the point the test is run, stdout is not closed; instead, it is a pipe going to the build slave. Usually, all curses output shows up in the buildbot log (which doesn't really automatically test whether the right thing is happening - but we don't want to test the system's curses library, anyway).
