You have been bitten by a glibc bug.  The ncurses you built is most likely
fine.  Please note that the new ncurses libraries I uploaded have the same 
problem.  Marcus and I have rebuilt most of the affected binaries, with GDB 
being the most important outstanding package (I plan to finish this one
tonight).

The binaries that segfault were build in January, and were compiled against
LibC 2.1.0, while our new versions are built against 2.1.2.  We have new
versions of Bash, CVS, Less, and I think telnet already uploaded.  Those are
the only "bad" versions we are aware of, but if you have seen problems with
others please let me know.

Thanks,

-Brent
