I'm using glibc-2.0.108-0.981221, ncurses-4.2-11,
egcs-1.1.1-2, and kernel 2.2.0-pre2.  This simple ncurses
program crashes:

#include <ncurses.h>

main() {
  initscr();
  return 0;
}

"make menuconfig" in the Linux kernel also crashes for the
exact same reason.  Here's GDB output:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
