Strange things happen. I can use modconf without any problem with:
- bogl using framebuffer (rivafb and vga16 with 2.2.20udma100-ext3 kernel)
- xterm with -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1
but it fails to run within the installation environment. I guess,
something is going wrong because of the library reduction, so the
libnewt is a faulty mix of utf8 and non-utf8 aware routinges.
Another idea is the localisation. May the thing depend on locales in
some way?

Currently not. But it will be needed again if the whiptail problem is
not fixed soon.
