Does that have anything to do with the crash? Your bug report (which I
cannot reproduce) seems to be related to a build error rather than a
runtime one.

I've now just tested with a glibc toolchain (E.G
qemu_arm_versatile_defconfig and select external codesourcery 2010.09
toolchain) and stuff using ncurses (I tried htop) also crashes here, so
it doesn't seem to be something specific to uclibc.

I've also tested ncurses 5.9 with the same results. with 2011.05 getting
quite near, perhaps the best approach is to revert to ncurses 5.7?
