[BusyBox] Problems using the make menuconfig commands in both 1.00--pre1, and ---pre2

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
I've been reluctant in reporting this, because I wanted to prove to myself,
if anyone else, if the bug exists with anything else that comes from Erik.
As it happens, uClibc does the same thing. Here's a transcript from script
for both releases:

Why, I don't know, but I think its because my distribution, Slackware 8.0
may not have the same version of ncurses, that Erik used, (Or whoever helped
with the releases.), according to the installer, it is ncurses-5.2. Erik
which version was used here?
