make menuconfig segfault

Hi,

Back in 2003 make menuconfig always segfaulted unless I used a ncurses 
tarball and used that:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/12/msg04950.html

Now, 3 years later, it still happens:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.17Wed Aug 23-14:00:31HDC1# make menuconfig
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
#
# using defaults found in .config
#
^Linterrupted(11)
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

this is a brandnew sid system. This is what is installed:

...
libncurses5 5.5-2
libncurses5-dev 5.5-2
libncursesw5 5.5-2
ncurses-base 5.5-2
ncurses-bin 5.5-2
...

Like I said, if I:

tar -xzvf /sda7/backup.files/fromhd/debs/ncurses-5.4.tar.gz
cd /usr/doc/ncurses-5.4
./configure prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

and replace all /usr/includes with /usr/local/includes in 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh

then it works normally.

Anybody have a clue? BTW 11 is a segfault.
