Description of problem:
1. newt library have a lot of bugs in code (see patch in descriptions)
for example your define one variable two times
2. library don't work in the simple example (like in ntsysv, but with labels
instead checkboxes, see program in the steps)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Please run next code to see segmentation fault:#include <ctype.h>

---------------------------------------------

This works well with checkboxes and segfaults with labels (code from ntsysv)


Actual Results:  segmentation fault


Expected Results:  segmentation fault


Additional info:

You can apply patch below to fix some bugs, but scrolling don't work in the
scrollable area with labels (and works with checkboxes and entries)
