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:

The workaround says you recompiled ncurses - no insight past that.


Worse than that, I keep careful notes in a mysql database nowadays and that reveals that I used menuconfig on the 27th on another partition with the same ncurses and a 2.6.9 kernel, which fails now the same way!



A few weeks ago I was curious if lxdialog could handle any of the scripts
in dialog's samples - lxdialog couldn't handle any of them (_not_ an ncurses
bug).

Sure - file a bug report against lxdialog.


Which does not seem to be it either because I get the failure in both 2.4.29 and 2.6.9.
