What is color_pair_number in the C code? If it's some incorrect value (-1? 255?), maybe ncurses is indexing off an array and crashing. This is why a debugger might help; you could run the test program until the crash and then print out the values of the relevant variables. e.g. is stdscr set to a non-NULL value? There might be a debugging version of ncurses that will let you look at the variables inside the ncurses code, which may make the problem clear. --amk _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
