make menuconfig in most recent Sarge

[Hugo Vanwoerkom <hvw59601@care2.com>]

Hi world!

Doing make menuconfig with the most recent Sarge gets a return of 139 
from menuconfig.

That's a segfault in ncurses.

More than a year ago I posted this workaround for Woody:
http://groups.google.com.au/groups?hl=en&lr=&threadm=160y3-4Ww-19%40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fas_epq%3DThere%2520seems%2520to%2520be%2520a%2520problem%2520with%2520the%2520lxdialog%26safe%3Dimages%26as_scoring%3Dd%26lr%3D%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den

Well, doing the same thing works again: download the latest ncurses 
tarball, install it and do ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib because 
the help is wrong: he installs into /usr by default, then make and make 
install. Then in the Makefile in /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog:

   1.  Add HOSTCC = gcc (because it is missing!)
   2. Change LIBS = -L/usr/local/lib -lncurses
   3. Change all /usr/include/ to /usr/local/include/
   4. Wipe out the executable and all .o files and make.

And then make menuconfig works again!

Can anybody verify this before I report it as a bug?
Or am I wrong?
Thanks!
