test_curses on its own passes on my FreeBSD 6.3 box.  It segfaults when
run in the context of a full regression test though.

I've tried libthr instead of libpthread (via libmap.conf), and it
also fails only in the full regression test.  The backtrace from the
coredump is different from the libpthread case though...
