Hmm, yes I get that too (I'd commented it out, because I thought it
had something to do with the crashes, but it didn't AFAICT).

It's very strange.  I tried wrestling with gdb to find out how it was
failing, but didn't get very far.

It's hard to see how curs_set can fail.  Maybe I need to build ncurses
from source and link to that.

Cheers,
M.
