I think I can manage the FreeBSD side, I used to be a committer for it. ;)

One result I get is this:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x8173000 (LWP 100121)]
0x28ac4102 in PyCurses_getsyx (self=0x0)
    at /usr/home/asmodai/projects/python/Modules/_cursesmodule.c:1770
1770      getsyx(y, x);

Is a value of 0x0 valid for self? I'd figure it would be a memory address,
but I do not know the internals well enough for that.
